Orthopaedic insole as a medical AIDS, can solve and alleviate many foot disease symptoms. For different diseases, there are different mechanisms of action. For example, by changing the Angle at which feet touch the ground and changing the negative focus, people can feel more comfortable and effective when standing, walking, running and jumping. By supporting the arch of the foot, the user's gait and posture can be corrected and improved. By redistributing plantar pressure, the treatment or relief of plantar diseases can be achieved.
Among the common foot problems, whether the arch of the foot is normal (flat foot, high arch foot) and whether the foot pronates forward and backward is the detection standard. Arch deformation can lead to a range of foot problems, such as plantar fasciitis/heel spurs, which are usually caused by stretching of the fascia before the arch collapses and rotates, tearing away from the heel bone. Bone spurs are secondary compensation.
Knee pain is due to more pronation and supination, deputy ligament sprain
For example, foot tendinitis is mostly caused by the repeated overstretching of the medial and lateral attachment points of the Achilles tendon, which produces a pain stress point. Prerotation and postrotation are key pathogenic factors. Knee joint pain is due to pre-rotation and post-rotation factors, collateral ligament sprain. Heel pain in children is associated with pronation and growth spurts, and has a greater impact on children who exercise more than those who sit more. Knee joint pain is usually caused by the combination of tibial torsion, growth spurt and prerotation factors leading to "tibial tubercle epiphyseal inflammation". Hip pain is caused by structural or functional factors of unequal length and rotation of the lower extremities, including strained external rotation of the hip joint and interference of the long lower extremities. Lumbar back pain is characterized by unilateral and bilateral pronation, as well as structural and functional differences in the length of both lower limbs, resulting in adverse biomechanical pressure on different parts of the waist.
In the face of these problems, if the pathogenesis is known, the pain can be alleviated by adopting appropriate and scientific physical rehabilitation methods. The purpose of functional orthopaedic insoles to deal with the causes of foot pain is not only to relieve the pain symptoms, but also to completely get rid of the foot disease and the mechanical compensation problems caused by it.

The following are the principles of the effect of orthopaedic insoles in several diseases:
1. Plantar fasciitis
The use of insole with arch support can evenly disperse the patient's plantar pressure, effectively reduce the tension of plantar fascia when loading the lower limbs, support the foot movement, and thus reduce the injury of repeated traction to plantar fascia.
2. Heel bone spurs
By redistributing the force on the bottom of the foot, the load bearing force on the heel and the local stimulation can be reduced, so as to eliminate local inflammation and relieve pain.
The picture shows the heel bone spur pad produced by our center. Indications: heel bone spur, ligament injury, heel tenderness, fatigue heel lesions
Achilles tendinitis
The occurrence of Achilles tendinitis, in addition to the extrusion of shoes, friction and other external factors, most patients will also have ankle joint distortion problems, resulting in the abnormal stress of Achilles tendon attachment point, orthopedic insole can help the Achilles tendon to restore normal stress, at the same time can raise the heel, reduce the tension of the Achilles tendon.
4. Metatarsal pain and corpus callosum
By reshaping the arch of the foot, the load bearing force on the bottom of the foot is evenly distributed to reduce the pressure on the front foot. There is also an orthopaedic insole with a crossbow at the front that reshapes the crossbow so that the collapsed metatarsal bone is raised to varying degrees. This will not only effectively relieve the pain in the front foot, but also make the painful pad slowly soften until it disappears.
5. Habitual ankle sprain
Chronic ankle sprain patients not only have the imbalance of ligament strength on both sides of ankle joint, but also have the inclination of talus joint surface. Orthopaedic insole can improve the tilt Angle of talus joint surface by balancing the force of ligaments on both sides of ankle joint, so as to prevent ankle sprain.
6. Metatarsal tarsus arthritis and intertarsal arthritis
The causes of metatarsal tarsus arthritis and tarsal arthritis are not only the weakening of the ability to maintain the structure of the tarsal joint due to the aging of the muscles and ligaments of the foot, but also the easy strain of the Achilles tendon. In some populations, the disorder or loosening of the structure of the tarsal joint also exists. Orthopaedic insoles can stabilize the joint structure by supporting the arch of the foot, thus reducing the occurrence of traumatic inflammation and eliminating the pain symptoms of patients.
7. Prevent degenerative osteoarthrosis in the elderly
Orthopaedic insoles balance the forces on the joints of the lower limbs and adjust the gait and posture of walking by improving the force line of the lower limbs. Long-term use, can play a role in preventing or delaying senile osteoarthrosis.
Hallux valgus
The aggravation of thumb valgus is mainly caused by the traction of the muscles in the sole of the foot. Orthopaedic insoles delay the aggravation of hallux valgus by relieving the strength of the foot muscles.
Note: the wearing of insoles is adjuvant treatment and has clear indications. Long-term wearing is required to relieve foot diseases. In the process of wearing, please contact the doctor or stop wearing if you feel uncomfortable.
Why can't orthopedic insole buy at will?
Some children often shout "the foot is tired", "the foot is uncomfortable", do not want to do sports more, or have sufficient arch anomaly, the parent might as well take advantage of the summer vacation to take the child to the hospital for examination. Medical professionals warn that it is possible to correct arch abnormalities before the age of 16 through corrective insoles and targeted training. But the circumstance of each child sufficient arch is different, have very big difference even right and left foot, because this wants to check, match myopia glasses to be same, the sufficient ministry that checks the child to the hospital or professional orgnaization, lower limb, pelvic circumstance even, again measure the body is custom-built correct insole, cannot buy at will.

After some parents know the child has flat foot, buy a pair of readymade correctional insole to the child on the net or shoe store to use, some children felt symptom was improved after using, can complain however unwell more serious, how is this to return a responsibility? Han xiulan, a rehabilitation medicine therapist at the east hospital of the first affiliated hospital of sun yat-sen university, explained that corrective insoles, like myopic glasses, need to be strictly matched and tailored. It turns out that although both feet are flat, each child has a different arch, and even the same child may have very different arches on both feet (for example, one foot is flat and the other is normal). The child of flat foot often accompanies to have the problem such as sufficient inside 8, genu eversion, coxa outer spin, length leg, the circumstance of each child can differ in a great variety more, the doctor is in check match correctional insole can undertake evaluating to the child skeleton development of whole body, evaluate time needs 30-60 minutes. Every respect factor of the body should consider integratedly, have the child of long and short leg for instance two insole ply can differ, because this correctional insole must measure measure custom-built, otherwise the sufficient arch of the child is abnormal cannot get correctional, aggravate a symptom possibly even.
