Anyone who has experienced the pain of Plantar Fasciitis knows how excruciating it can be to put your foot down on the floor in the morning getting out of bed. People suffering from heal spurs and shin splits can also relate the discomfort they feel just taking a few steps. Foot pain can affect everything you try to do and fortunately relief is available.
Spenco Medical Corp manufactures a full line of foot care products and was founded by Dr. Wayne Spence over 40 years ago. Spenco specializes in products that are designed to help people suffering from foot pain get back to their daily activities. Customised insoles in Singapore and Orthotic Arch Supports can keep you pain free and are used by athletes and runners all over the world.
Most people do not realize that the health of your body depends on proper foot function and alignment. If the arch of your foot fails to function correctly, your foot will tend to over-pronate – that is, turn inward as you step. This can result in foot pain or worse, no foot pain but pain in your ankles, knees, hips or back. Since the foot is out of alignment, the other joints try to compensate. This can cause all of the joints to become misaligned as each tries to compensate for the other.
The most popular of the products by Spenco are the Spenco Polysorb Cross Trainer Insoles for superior cushioning and the Polysorb Total Support Insoles which provide both extra support and cushioning. Spenco Insoles are recommended by Podiatrist and athletic trainers who have worked with runners who have been slowed down by pain in the feet or legs. One high school trainer from Chicago wrote to Spenco to let them know how effective the arch supports can be, “The insoles are great quality and help heal my athletes. Whenever I tell them they need arch supports you’ll hear another kid say, “You should get Spenco Orthotic Arch Supports, they are great!”
In addition to the Spenco Insoles the company offers heel cushions and specially made inserts for diabetics as well. The line of insoles includes various designs that are geared toward the type of activity that will be performed. One style is made for runners and walkers, another for hiking and a third for occupational workers who stand on concrete all day. They even sell a special total support sandal which easily slips on and off.
The Spenco Orthotic Arch Support Insoles are all based on their exclusive 3 POD cushioning system. The cushioning absorbs shock and prevents the pain that can come from Plantar Fasciitis or heal spurs. Another advantage of Spenco Insoles is that they can be heat molded for a custom fit inside your shoe. They also include an antimicrobial, friction resistant top cloth made with Cool Dry Technology which will keep your feet dry and prevent blisters.
