Foot Pain & Orthotics

A Team-Based Approach to Comfort, Alignment & Confident Movement

Foot pain can affect every step you take—impacting work, sport, walking, and everyday activities. The foot is a complex structure, and issues here often influence the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. At The Health Collective – Baden, we assess how your feet move, how they absorb load, and how they influence the rest of your body.

Our multidisciplinary team works together to reduce pain, improve mechanics, and support long-term alignment.

Your treatment plan may include:

• Physiotherapy – strengthening, mobility, gait training, balance work, and activity modification

• Chiropractic care – joint treatment for the foot, ankle, and lower kinetic chain mechanics

• Massage therapy – soft tissue release for tight or overworked foot and calf muscles

• Osteopathy – whole-body movement balance, joint restrictions, and lower limb fluidity

• Acupuncture – pain modulation and reduced inflammation

• Custom Orthotics – personalized support for alignment, load distribution, and long-term relief

Common Foot & Arch Conditions We Help With:

• Plantar fasciitis

• Flat feet or collapsed arches

• Heel pain

• Achilles or calf tightness

• Morton’s neuroma

• Metatarsalgia (ball-of-foot pain)

• Big toe or forefoot pain

• Overuse injuries from walking or running

• Pain from prolonged standing or improper footwear

• Knee, hip, or back pain related to foot mechanics

When Are Custom Orthotics Helpful?

Orthotics are not needed for everyone—but they are extremely effective when foot mechanics are contributing to pain or load imbalance.

We recommend custom orthotics when we see:

• Excessive pronation or supination

• Chronic arch pain or heel pain

• Recurrent plantar fasciitis

• Forefoot pressure or ball-of-foot pain

• Standing- or work-related foot fatigue

• Limb length differences

• Knee, hip, or low-back pain linked to foot posture

• Difficulty tolerating walking, running, or long days on your feet

Our orthotics are custom-made based on a professional assessment, and your specific activity demands—not generic inserts.

Why Foot Pain Matters

The foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 soft tissue structures. When the foot isn’t absorbing load properly, the body often compensates by overworking other areas, leading to tightness, inflammation, or joint stress up the entire kinetic chain.

Addressing foot mechanics often improves:

• Walking comfort

• Running efficiency

• Shock absorption

• Balance and stability

• Knee, hip, and lower-back alignment

Our goal is not only to reduce pain, but to create lasting comfort and confidence with every step.

Every patient receives a personalized, goal-oriented plan—built collaboratively across professions when needed. You don’t have to choose your provider alone: our team will guide you to the right care at the right time.
