According to an article published in Bottom Line Health December 2009, researchers did 11 studies involving 1332 people with foot pain. They found that custom made orthotics (shoe inserts molded from the foot) relieved pain within 3 months for adults with rheumatoid arthritis. They found that within 3 to 6 months patients with highly arched feet or prominently big toe joints got relief. The cost of these orthotics are around $300 and last about 3 years.
