How do Upstep orthotics work for heel pain?

Heel pain is remarkably common and has many different underlying causes but most of the time dysfunction of the walking bio-mechanics is evident. To give long term resolution, a combination of treatments are needed, including custom made orthotics.

Heel pain usually affects the underside or back of your heel, and reduces your ability to bend your foot downward, rise on your toes or walk normally. Pain may be characterized as swelling, numbness or tingling in your heel.
The most common causes of heel pain are plantar fasciitis (bottom of the heel) and Achilles tendinitis (back of the heel). Other causes for heel pain might be heel spurs, peripheral neuropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, and stress fractures.

Heel pain can interfere with your normal activities, particularly exercise.
