What to do against back pain

In cases of overstrain due to sports and/or work, as a preventive measure, but especially when back pain is due to foot misalignments, such as flat feet or fallen arches, a gait and running analysis by NUMO is advisable.

The first measure to eliminate back pain is physical activity, even if that might sound counterproductive at first. However, in cases of acute pain, this physical activity should be in a light to moderate range and the intensity should always be adjusted to your pain levels. If you experience fever, weight loss, or tingling in your arms or legs, you should consult a doctor.

Orthopedic insoles are custom-made medical aids that sustainably correct incorrect body postures. They are used for various complaints, including back, knee, or foot pain.

No, generally the insoles are not visible as they disappear invisibly inside the shoe. Custom-made Sandals and Slippers by NUMO also ensure pain-free walking at home or in the summer.

Orthopedic shoe insoles are not covered by basic insurance, even with a doctor's prescription. Therefore, check with your supplementary insurance in advance to see if cost sharing is possible. Direct billing from NUMO with the health insurance or supplementary insurance is not possible. If you have been referred by a doctor or come to us due to an accident, please bring the prescription, your accident insurance documents, and any existing X-rays. Gait analyses are generally not reimbursed, please clarify this with your insurance in advance.

The pelvic position can develop differently over time and from person to person. Therefore, corrections should be checked regularly to ensure the effectiveness of the insoles. For children and adolescents, it is also extremely important to monitor growth.
