Many common conditions seen by podiatrists are due to instability in the way the foot functions. Heel and arch pain for example, is often caused by this instability. If the arch flattens even a little too much, with every step that you take, then the plantar fascia, the ligament on the bottom of the foot that runs from the heel to the forefoot, stretches excessively causing inflammation and pain. The long term treatment for this condition to address the instability that is leading to this inflammation is with custom molded functional orthotics.
