Dr. Timothy Young Talks About Plantar Fibromas and Prescription Orthotics.
Plantar fibromas are benign soft tissue growth within the plantar fascia. This often present as a nodular bump in the instep. These are often painful especially with direct pressure. Patients will sometimes also have Dupuytren's contractu affecting their hands. They also often have a high arch foot structure. These are often diagnosed and confirmed with diagnostic ultrasound imaging and physical exam.
These can be difficult to treat. Typical treatments include prescription orthotics, cortisone injections, shockwave therapy, and ultrasound therapy. Surgical excision can be done, however there is a high recurrence rate. Prescription orthotics are particularly effective. These orthotics work by supporting the longitudinal arch to decrease the strain within the fascia. In addition prescription orthotics can have a plantar fascial groove. This is where the Doctor marks the foot to show where the band of the plantar fascia bowstrings out especially when the great toe is raised or dorsiflexed. This marked area will then transfer to either a plaster cast or the 3-D optical scanner. In addition, we often mark the plantar fibroma to make further create a depression within the orthotic here that is filled with soft but supportive foam. This way the foot has support but the areas that are most sensitive have much softer support and the orthotics do not "dig in to the arch". Other treatments such as cortisone injections ultrasound shockwave therapy are all helpful but are even more effective when combined with a special orthotics that have a "sweet spot".

How To Reduce Foot Pain While Standing All Day
Does your work involve standing on your feet all day long?
Whether you work in a restaurant, a hair salon, or a school, taking care of tired feet is an effort that can't be ignored. When your feet don't have the proper support, your legs, knees, and ankles suffer due to not ‘standing’ properly.
What Can You Do To Reduce Standing-Related Injuries?
There are many things you can do to minimize the problems related to prolonged standing. Here are some easy steps you could make to get you through your day while preventing or at least minimizing damage to your feet and ankles.
Take Frequent Short Breaks
Find the time to be seated if you are standing for extended periods. Take advantage of your break time and relax your feet and leg.
Wear Comfy and Supportive Footwear
Make sure you invest into nice, comfortable shoes. There are many choices, such as Nike and Adidas, but make sure they fit well and you feel comfortable wearing them for several hours a day.
Get Customized Orthotics
Prescription Orthotics are custom medical appliances that were traditionally made from a cast of your foot. We are now using the latest technology that records three dimensional images of your feet. Your foot is placed in its best functional position and then scanned using the scanner pictured to the right. The images are used as a form to make the custom orthotics. The doctor completes a unique prescription, depending upon your specific problem and foot type. From this, the orthotic fits inside of your shoe to change and improve the biomechanics of your gait.

Dr. Brandon Nelson Talks About The Power of Prescription Orthotics
Prescription orthotics have proven to be a great weapon in the treatment and prevention of foot and ankle problems. Custom orthotics have proven to be superior than over the counter inserts in alleviating pain and slowing progression of lower extremity deformities. Prescription orthotics can only be prescribed by a foot and ankle doctor and require the placement of joints into the neutral position. They control excessive pronation and help to redistribute weight and enhance joint alignment. There is a common misconception that prescription orthotics are arch supports or that over the counter orthotics are similar. This could not be further from the truth.
Prescription orthotics do not come from a machine you stand on or from a shoe store. A physician is required to diagnose your condition, evaluate your joints and gait cycle. A large percentage of insurance companies cover a prescription orthotic that is made from a Podiatrist. Prescription orthotics can help all types of patients and foot deformities from bunions to running injuries. Many people without foot pain can benefit from a prescriptive orthotic to help maintain correct alignment and avoid long term issues to the foot or ankle. We at Issaquah Foot & Ankle Specialist have a dedicated gait evaluation lab and can provide the best possible orthotic.
