Insertional Achilles Tendonitis is a condition that affects the Achilles Tendon at the point where it attaches to the back of the heel bone, resulting in inflammation and pain at the back of the heel.
Physiotherapy, including strengthening exercises and insoles, is vital in treating Insertional Achilles Tendonitis. By raising the heel height and providing extra support to the ankle joint, insoles reduce pain levels for Insertional Achilles Tendonitis.
Best Insoles for Insertional Achilles Tendonitis
We recommend the CosySofa height-adjustable insoles for Insertional Achilles Tendonitis. They have 3 different heights of insoles made of PU material with additional cushioning.
Usually, the 1.7cm heel raise is sufficient to offload the Achilles Tendon and any higher than this, and you may find it challenging to fit in most footwear. The 2.3cm may fit in boots and high-top shoes. This is the most crucial aspect of the insole, as it shortens the Achilles Tendon, relieving pain.
The cushioning under the heel helps absorb the impact associated with irritation of Insertional Achilles Tendonitis. We prefer this model over a simple heel raise as they are full length, which stops them slipping forward in your shoe and causing blistering.
