How do therapeutic insoles support diabetes and pressure relief?

Therapeutic insoles are designed to provide, support, alignment, and relief for various foot conditions or biomechanical issues. They help support the arch, redistributing pressure evenly across the foot and providing stability. They can correct biomechanical imbalances in the feet by aligning the foot properly, and can help alleviate associated discomfort or prevent injuries.

The design of therapeutic insoles takes into consideration the specific needs of diabetic individuals. They are crafted with materials that offer cushioning and support to reduce pressure points on the feet, helping to prevent sores and injuries that could be detrimental to someone with diabetes.
