Do Foot Orthotics really get rid of pain??!


Question: Hi all
I've been told by my physio i have Shin splint's, i was given stretches to do and was told to rest...ive done all that but still get pain!
He also said i have flat foot...so would going to a Podiatrist and maybe getting some Foot Orthotics made for me REALLY help take the pain away from my shin's and lower leg and stop the shin splint's!?

Thanks in advance! ;)

Yes your foot wear is very important and it will be noticed right away.You may have one leg longer than the other or you need to have a piece of something in side of your shoes under the heal of your foot.You can try before you see a doctor also.Build up your heal with something hard, like rubber about 1inch by 1and a half inches, 1/8 inch thick try that on both than try under one at a time if this works call and make appt. to see doctor.they have good stuff and not that expensive.
