If you notice discomfort in your joints, whether in your knees, hips, ankles, etc. after moderate exercise, such as walking, or this causes pain in your feet or tiredness in your feet, you may need a podiatric specialist to assess whether orthopedic insoles are necessary.
Which orthopedic insoles are best?
The best insoles are those that are made to measure, after performing a biomechanical study of the footprint, since this will allow us to know the pathologies that the patient presents and, in this way, to be able to make them with the necessary characteristics.
Do I need different insoles to practice sports?
When a footprint study has been carried out, the insoles that are made can also be used for sports. On the other hand, it is also important to know the correct exercise technique, as this combination is very useful to delay or mitigate possible injuries.
How often should orthopedic insoles be changed?
The insoles should be checked annually. Depending on this review, the specialist will be able to determine whether it is necessary to change them or if, on the contrary, they continue to fulfill their function.
What problems can be caused by not wearing the insoles?
If the patient needs insoles and does not wear them, this can cause problems ranging from foot problems to spine, hips, knees, etc. Some of these can be: plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, reduced pressure in diabetic feet or runner’s knee syndrome, among others. In addition, wearing them can prevent future sports injuries.
