Common Foot Problems

Are you struggling with common foot problems that impact your daily life? In this informative blog, we’ll explore prevalent foot issues and how Orthotiks, designed by Dr. Burke Hugo, can offer the relief and support you need.

Common Foot Problems

1. Plantar Fasciitis:

Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition affecting the heel and arch of the foot. It often results from overuse, improper footwear, or poor foot mechanics, and can be particularly debilitating during the first steps in the morning.

2. Flat Feet:

Flat feet, or fallen arches, occur when the arches of the feet collapse, leading to discomfort, pain, and instability.

3. Bunions:

Bunions are bony bumps that form on the joint of the big toe. They can be painful and affect your ability to wear certain shoes comfortably.

4. Achilles Tendinitis:

Achilles tendinitis is the inflammation of the Achilles tendon, typically caused by overuse or improper biomechanics.

5. Metatarsalgia:

Metatarsalgia is characterized by pain in the ball of the foot, often due to excessive pressure on the metatarsal heads.

How Orthotiks Can Provide Relief

Orthotiks, designed by Dr. Burke Hugo, offer targeted solutions for these common foot problems: After seeing around 50,000 patients over 30 years in practice Dr Hugo realised that he could take the most common attributes that he prescribed for around 80% of his patients and it will treat the most common foot problems. He designed and had it made out of Polypropylene so it was made of the same material as a custom orthotic, meaning it would be the highest quality and have the most efficacy in treating these ailments.
