HOW CAN I RELIEVE PAIN IN THE ARCH OF MY FEET?

 

Arch pain and heel spurs are a common foot concern among runners, athletes and those who stand on their feet all day.

Your foot arch plays an essential role in shock absorption, weight bearing, ensuring balance and adapting to changes in the surface you are walking on.

Arch pain can be felt in the ball and heel of your foot and may be more intense when you have just woken up.

Orthoses and good-quality shoes can provide extra cushioning, which can help relieve arch pain.

Bauerfeind’s high-quality insoles with medical-grade supports target the symptoms of the arch to provide optimal pain relief and protection.

Made with high-quality polyurethane foam, our insoles offer optimal cushioning and flexibility to help you stand or walk around for longer.

We recommend wearing the Sports Insoles Run & Walk to help prevent foot arch pain. The unique, flexible orthotic core support guides the foot from below and actively promotes the natural mobility of the feet.

      Bauerfeind has formed a multi-functional foot orthosis that fits into multiple shoes for ease of functionality, including closed high heels.

      The Weightflex orthotic core stabilises the longitudinal and transverse arches and improves the free movement of the joints in the tarsus – the "weak point" of the foot's structure.

      The interaction of the four side sections of the "weightflex-X" in the core assists the active resetting of the muscles and connective tissues and optimises the gait pattern.

      The ErgoPad WeightFlex 2 is ideal for those who stand on their feet all day.

      HOW CAN I DEAL WITH ARCH PAIN?

      Arch pain can be caused by various things. Rest and apply ice to reduce swelling and pain, and take anti-inflammatory pain medications if necessary. If pain persists, see a doctor immediately for medical treatment.

      • Rest. Give your feet plenty of rest to help ease the stress and tension being put on them.
      • Insoles and correct footwear. Orthotics and shoes with good support and cushioning will be highly beneficial.
