SCIATICA
Shooting pain in the gluteal region and down the back of the leg. Pain worsens when seated for long periods of time
WHAT IS IT?
The sciatic nerve runs from the gluteal region, down the back of the leg, behind the knee, and all the way to the bottom of the foot. Most often, the piriformis muscle, which lies deep in the gluteal region and directly overtop of the sciatic nerve, compresses and puts pressure on the nerve.
SYMPTOMS
Shooting pain is felt in the gluteal region and down the back of the leg. Pain worsens when seated for long period of time.
TREATMENT
Stretching the piriformis muscle can relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve as can strengthening the muscle to make it more pliable.

Met pad support
SOLE now offers footbeds with a built-in metatarsal pad. This is an added element of forefoot support that sits under the transverse arch, the arch behind the ball of the foot that runs across the width of the foot. It lifts and separates toes, putting them back into their natural resting position, to relieve pressure and pain in the area that can be caused by issues such as Morton's neuroma and metatarsalgia. This added support also increases circulation and reduces discomfort caused by ill-fitting footwear.
