How do Upstep orthotics work for Posterior Tibial Tendonitis?

Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is a problem that occurs in one of the tendons on the inner side of the ankle. This area of the tendon is particularly prone to developing problems because it lacks a robust blood supply to nourish and repair the tendon in case it is injured.
Most commonly, patients with posterior tibial tendinitis complain of pain on the inner of the foot and ankle and occasionally have problems associated with an unsteady gait. As posterior tibial tendinitis progresses, the arch of the foot can flatten and the toes begin to point outwards. This is the result of the posterior tibial tendon not doing its job to support the arch of the foot.

PTTD is one of the more severe foot conditions which requires orthotics design at the highest quality. Upstep Custom Orthotics allow for the ultimate support to be achieved by applying the correct amounts of force to the foot to reduce the load on the tendon. A very supportive and spacious footwear is required to both fit in the orthotics and to allow the orthotics to function at their best. Good quality athletic shoes, hiking boots, or similar are ideal to get the best results possible.
