Rheumatoid arthritis often affects the many small joints of the feet, causing pain, stiffness, and deformities that can make walking difficult. Over time, inflammation can change the shape of the foot, leading to pressure points, instability, and difficulty finding supportive shoes. Custom orthotics are frequently recommended to reduce pain and improve mobility by redistributing weight and cushioning sensitive areas. Soft or semi rigid orthotics can be designed to relieve stress on inflamed joints, provide shock absorption, and protect against further irritation. They can also help correct imbalances that develop as the foot structure changes, allowing for better stability and alignment. For some patients, custom orthotics delay the need for more invasive interventions, and support long term joint health. If you are living with rheumatoid arthritis and experiencing foot pain, it is suggested that you see a podiatrist for care.

Unilateral plantar fasciopathy is a condition where pain occurs in one foot due to inflammation of the plantar fascia, often most intense with the first steps in the morning. This discomfort happens because the tissue tightens overnight and becomes irritated when stretched during movement. Foot orthotics can help by providing arch support, cushioning the heel, and improving foot alignment to reduce strain on the fascia. A podiatrist can assess the severity of the condition, recommend the most effective type of orthotic, and create a treatment plan that may include stretching and footwear guidance. If you wake up with sharp heel pain, it is suggested that you promptly schedule an appointment with a podiatrist to find long-lasting relief and support through custom orthotics.

What Are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are inserts you can place into your shoes to help with a variety of foot problems such as flat feet or foot pain. Orthotics provide relief and comfort for minor foot and heel pain.
Over-the-Counter Inserts
Shoe inserts come in a wide variety and are used to treat foot pain, heel pain, and minor problems. For example, arch supports can be inserted into your shoes to help correct overarched or flat feet, while gel insoles are often used because they provide comfort and relief from foot and heel pain by alleviating pressure.
Prescription Orthotics
If over-the-counter inserts don’t work for you or if you have a more severe foot concern, it is possible to have your podiatrist prescribe custom orthotics. These high-quality, custom inserts are designed to treat problems such as abnormal motion, plantar fasciitis, and severe forms of heel pain. They can even be used to help patients suffering from diabetes by treating foot ulcers and painful calluses and are usually molded to your feet individually, which allows them to provide full support and comfort.
If you're experiencing minor to severe foot or heel pain, it’s recommended to speak with your podiatrist about the possibility of using custom orthotics or shoe inserts. A podiatrist can determine which type of custom orthotic or shoe insert is right for you and help you take the first steps toward being pain-free.
