Dr. Scholl's Pain Relief Orthotics for Plantar Fasciitis for Men, 1 Pair, Size 8-13

Product Information

There are a number of potential causes of pain in the heel of the foot. The most common causes are plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, general heel pain can develop due to aggravation of the heel area. This can occur more readily as we age and the fat pad that protects our heel bone degrades. Since plantar fasciitis is a common problem among runners, Dr. Scholl’s® Performance Sized to Fit Running Insoleswere designed to provide superior support and cushioning just for runners. The insoles reduce impact on the feet, minimizing the risk of pain from plantar fasciitis. Orthotic inserts, or insoles, can be a great tool in the fight against PF pain. A good pair of plantar fasciitis insoles should provide cushioning and support your feet. Insoles are designed to help reduce pain. Some inserts can even help correct your gait, which also reduces pain over time. See your doctor if you don’t get relief from plantar fasciitis pain after trying at-home remedies. You may require stronger treatments, including:

There might also be times when your most comfortable shoes don’t cut it, and you need to wear a less supportive pair. For instance, maybe you need to wear a dressier but less supportive shoe for a fancy occasion or an important meeting. This is where insoles come in. How To Choose The Best Plantar Fasciitis Insoles For Your Feet Rest —You may need to give your foot a chance to heal by avoiding high-impact exercise for a period of time. Consider low-impact athletic activities such as swimming and cycling until your pain resolves. A night splint may be helpful at relieving pain that occurs first thing in the morning. Night splints are designed to hold the foot in a gentle flexed position during sleeping hours.You can trim the insoles to fit your foot and the inside of your shoe perfectly, a feature we always appreciate. Along with the amazing arch support, we also love the insole's deep heel cup that cradles the heel for added support and stability. The makeup of the insoles includes a durable plastic base (hence the support) and layer of foam in the metatarsal, heel, and forefoot areas that adds additional comfort. If you are diabetic or have poor blood circulation, you could suffer from foot complications. Please consult a physician or podiatrist before using this product. There are a variety of insoles on the market, but it’s necessary to differentiate between inserts, insoles, and orthotics before identifying what option is best for your needs. For example, insoles for flat feet are specifically designed to align your feet while relieving pressure and discomfort. “Inserts and insoles are interchangeable terms to describe over-the-counter devices, while orthotics are custom-molded by a podiatrist,” says Dr. Jacqueline Sutera, DPM, and Podiatrist at City Podiatry in New York City.

Stretching exercises can help provide relief from plantar fasciitis pain. Some people find foot massage balls to be particularly helpful. Dr. Scholl’s ® Hot & Cold Foot Massage Ball features stimulating nubs that gently massage all areas of the foot, including the plantar fascia. The ball can be filled with hot or cold water for extra therapeutic benefits.Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation in a band of connective tissue called the plantar fascia which connects the toes to the heel bone. The pain from plantar fasciitis is most commonly felt in or near the bottom of the heel. Physical activity– Athletic activities that exert force and pressure on the foot can lead to plantar fasciitis. The condition is most commonly associated with high-impact sports that involve running and jumping. The Spenco Cross Trainer insoles, on the other hand, are much thinner in profile while still having an impressive level of cushioning with their stretchy, nylon fabric construction. For those who want comfort without sacrificing space, these are a good choice. The Dr. Scholl's Plantar Fasciitis insoles are comfortable and have slight support in the arch and heel for those who suffer from the common plantar fasciitis, which can be very painful. The cushion in these orthotics is designed to help ease the pain associated with this injury and to provide simple support to the plantar fascia.
