Shenandoah Podiatry offers two free books, "Got Feet? Your Guide to Sports and Running Injuries" and "Got Feet? A User's Guide to Foot and Ankle Health." Today I'd like to take an excerpt out of our running book, as more and more people are slipping on their running shoes to hit the Huckleberry trail in this beautiful Blacksburg weather!
"Chapter 10: How Do I know if I Need
Orthotics? Foot pain is not normal and should not be ignored. It can lead to complex problems that can affect the functioning of other parts of the body, including the hips, knees and back. Foot-related problems are often treated very successfully with functional orthotic shoe inserts.
Orthotics are prescribed to:
- Reduce pain
- Provide support
- Prevent or slow down the development of a foot deformity
- Provide better positioning of the foot, knee and hips
- Improve the overall biomechanical function of the body"
As you can see,
