These orthotics can be a correction (flexible foot), support, or accommodation (rigid or inflexible feet).

The objective is to achieve with them the correct posture of the feet and reduce pain during the time a person is standing and while walking. In adults, foot pain, whether mechanical or inflammatory in origin, is very common and is the cause of numerous sick leave and social disorders.

What Are The Risks Of Not Treating Plantar Fasciitis?

• Plantar Tears: If plantar fasciitis remains untreated, inflammation and stress on the plantar fascia can result in small tears.
• Plantar Rupture: Plantar rupture can occur if plantar fasciitis is not treated correctly, and you continue to participate in activities that place a high impact on the plantar fascia. These activities can include running, sports, or even standing for long periods of time in inappropriate shoes.
• Plantar Fibromatosis: Nodules that usually grow slowly at first and are undetectable, followed by rapid and sudden growth. As time passes and the nodules grow, walking can become uncomfortable and painful.
• Heel Spurs: Pointy protrusions that dig into the fat pad of the heel, causing great pain with each step.
