The use of Heel wedges for knee osteoarthritis

January 30th, 2010 by admin

Commonly the cause of osteoarthritis of the knee is due to alignment problems of the knee. The use of braces on the knee to change its alignment is one way to treat knee osteoarthritis or to prevent it from progressing too rapidly. The research has shown that this can be helpful. The use of heel wedges for the knee osteoarthritis is also another way. This is a wedge that goes in the shoe under the whole foot or the heel. To change the alignment of the foot is its main purpose, which will put pressure up at the knee to change the alignment of the knee. This may take the pressure of the painful part of the knee and give some symptomatic relief.
