What does the research actually support orthotics for? 👣

The strongest evidence for foot orthoses is not simply “correcting feet,” but helping reduce pain and improve function in specific conditions — especially plantar heel pain (plantar fasciitis) and patellofemoral pain syndrome (“runner’s knee”).

Recent systematic reviews have shown that orthotics may help by:• Reducing stress on irritated tissues• Improving walking and running mechanics• Decreasing plantar pressure and abnormal loading• Improving function during activity

Importantly, orthotics are usually MOST effective when combined with the right footwear, stretching, strengthening, and activity modification — not as a stand-alone “magic fix.”

Every foot is different. A quality biomechanical evaluation matters far more than simply buying an insert online and hoping for the best.

📚 Recent evidence:• Gait & Posture (2024) systematic review/meta-analysis found foot orthoses can reduce plantar pressure and influence ankle/tibial mechanics during running.• Sports Medicine Open (2024) scoping review reported potential benefits of orthoses in symptomatic runners when matched appropriately to the patient.• Heliyon systematic review/meta-analysis found orthoses improved knee function and sport/recreation function in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
