Back pain, often referred to as the “disease of the century,” affects a large portion of the population. Lower back pain, back stiffness, chronic pain… What if the cause lies lower down than we think?
The feet: the foundation of the body
Every day, our feet bear the full weight of our bodies. When they are out of balance (flat feet, fallen arches, uneven weight distribution, etc.), this can have a domino effect on the knees, hips, pelvis, and eventually the spine. The body compensates, becomes misaligned, and pain sets in.
Insoles for back relief
Orthotic insoles promote a smoother gait, provide better back support, and often lead to a significant reduction in chronic pain.
Their actions
Custom-made or ready-to-wear
Insoles can be customized to fit the patient’s foot shape and needs using cutting-edge technologies such as the Vistapod platform available at pharmacies. However, there are also ready-to-use models designed to support proper posture throughout the day.
A simple, non-drug solution
With no side effects and easy to incorporate into daily life, orthotic insoles are a valuable ally for anyone suffering from back pain—provided, of course, that they are tailored to your feet and lifestyle. Today, orthotic insoles are recognized as a simple and effective solution for relieving back pain by realigning your posture starting from the feet.
