Foot and Ankle Pain, Plantar Fasciitis
Heel Cups
Heel cups can be a helpful option for plantar fasciitis in cases of severe pain and inflammation. While I generally recommend foot orthotics for the best results, heel cups provide extra cushioning and shock absorption when firm insoles are too uncomfortable to tolerate. They’re a good short-term solution to reduce heel pain and improve comfort.
Podiatrist Pro Tips:
- Once inflammation and pain have improved, recommend transitioning to a firm, supportive insole for better long-term results and management.
- Replace heel cups regularly if they become compressed or lose their cushioning effect.
