Viscoped Advantages
- Full-length viscoelastic insoles incorporating areas of softer density in the heel and metatarsal region
- Raised metatarsal pad aids in desired realignment of metatarsal heads
- Slight contouring of the arch for gentle support
- Provides shock load reduction throughout the entire length of the insole
- Ventilation holes allow for air circulation to combat heat build-up
- Five sizes may be easily trimmed for optimum fit
- Always available in pairs to prevent leg length discrepancies, Viscoped may be easily converted from one shoe to the next
- Viscoelastic medical-grade silicone provides peak shock load reduction to ankle, knee and hip joints
Viscoped can be used to treat: - Metatarsalgia- A general term for irritation of the metatarsals; aching pain in the metatarsal bones of the foot result from anatomical changes in their alignment.
- Fat pad atrophy- Also known by "thinning of the fat pad", this condition is characterized by a decrease in the size, or wasting away of the layer of body fat that is normally present to protect the metatarsal phalangeal heads; can also occur in the heel.
- Foot pain (plantar pain) * Pressure redistribution
- Diabetic foot- Frequently results from neuropathy, or nerve damage, in the feet which can lead to a dulling or loss of sensation, making one unable to feel pain, heat or cold; Viscoped should be worn only in non-ulcerative conditions.
- Morton's neuroma- An irritation that is caused by compression of a branch of the plantar nerve between the heads of the metatarsal bones and sometimes occurs when the second toe is larger than the big toe.
- Back and joint pain
- Hyperkerastosis- Thickening of the outer layer of skin. It may occur as an inherited disorder, affecting the soles of the feet.
- Splayfoot- A condition in which the feet are abnormally flattened out.
- Forefoot and toe deformitiesBauerfeind
