I experience pain in my neck, back, hips, knees, and/or ankles, can using SOLE Custom Footbeds help?

Many people experience some kind of joint pain, whether it is in their neck, back, hips, knees, or ankles. The source of the pain in these areas can often be traced back to a lack of proper support for the feet.

If the arches of the feet are not properly supported they can collapse, causing a ripple effect of misalignment that moves up from the arch of the foot, through the ankles and shins to the knees, and on to the hips, back, and neck. Misaligned joints experience increased inflammation, which results in pain. A lack of alignment also increases the chance of injury.

SOLE Custom Footbeds can help to reduce or eliminate these problems by dealing with them right at the source - your feet. The orthopedic shape of SOLE footbeds provides custom support for the arches of your feet. This support gently lifts your arches into their optimal position, which encourages correct alignment. Improving body alignment has been shown to eliminate chronic pain throughout the body.

I suffer from painful shin splints, how can using SOLE Custom Footbeds help?

Shin splints are classified by a list of symptoms, which could have a number of causes. The most common cause is inflammation of the periosteum of the tibia (sheath surrounding the bone). Traction forces occur from the muscles of the lower leg on the periosteum. It is a common overuse injury and occurs regularly in athletes who participate in high impact activities - such as running and jumping. People who oversupinate are also at an increased risk for experiencing shin splints.

Because shin splints are most often caused by repetitive shock and impact to the feet and legs, SOLE Custom Footbeds can be an effective preventative measure. Specifically, the SOLE SOFTEC Series provides industry-leading cushioning material to protect your feet against the pain of repetitive high impact activities.
