At Dr. Jill’s Foot Pads, we know that the symptoms of plantar fasciitis can be made worse by extended periods of walking and standing. If your summer vacation entails sightseeing, shopping and museum hopping, you may find yourself with an unwanted souvenir: heel pain. If your Podiatrist has prescribed a custom orthotic device, be sure to pack it and use it in your shoes. If your orthotic is more than a year or two old, you may want to get it re-evaluated before a vacation trip to make sure it still fits properly.

Below are some products which can help relieve symptoms of plantar fasciitis and other conditions such as high or fallen arches, heel spurs and other causes of heel discomfort.

Plantar Fasciitis Arch Sleeve

This unique product consists of a comfortable elastic sleeve with a gel pad the provides support to the arch. It’s easy to slip on over your foot and the sleeve keeps the gel in place. The Plantar Fasciitis Arch Sleeve can be worn with or without shoes. Its innovative design prevents the foot from rolling over, reducing strain on tendons and absorbing shock with every step. Patients with heel spurs, fallen arches and just plain old tired feet will greatly benefit from this product.

Gel Heel Cup

Our Gel Heel Cup provides amazing relief for patients suffering with any condition that causes heels to feel tender and in pain, including heel spurs, fat pad atrophy and heel calluses in addition to plantar fasciitis. A soft pillow of gel cushions every step you take. This product is designed for use in all styles of footwear. It is re-usable. Simply wash and allow to air dry for hours of lasting comfort when you’re on the go for the entire day.

Plantar Fasciitis Relief

Posted by drjills on in Achilles Tendonitis, arch, Foot Pain, Heel, plantar fasciitis0 Comment

At Dr. Jill’s Foot Pads, we know that heel pain is one of the most debilitating podiatric conditions for patients to deal with. Plantar fasciitis, a common culprit of heel pain, can have a few different causes. Whatever the source, however, wearing non-supportive footwear on hard, flat surfaces increases the strain on the plantar fascia and increases heel pain and discomfort. Fortunately, we have several solutions that can help cushion and protect hurting heels.

Plantar Fasciitis Arch Sleeve

This comfortable elastic sleeve contains a gel pad that can be positioned comfortably in the arch of the foot to provide support and relieve heel pain. The Plantar Fasciitis Arch Sleeve is also helpful in reducing strain on tendons and shock absorption, helping tired aching feet and preventing the foot from rolling. It can be worn with or without shoes for long-lasting comfort.

Gel Heel Cup

When you put a Gel Heel Cup in your shoe your foot will say, “Ahhhh….” This cup allows your heel to float on a soft cushion of gel and achieve superior relief for tender heels, especially if you need to stand for long hours. These heel cups are washable and can be re-used over and over again. They are designed to be used in all styles of footwear. They are also helpful in relieving discomfort caused by heel spurs, calluses and fat pad atrophy on the bottom of the heel.

Arch Binder

By providing gentle compression to the arch of the foot, the Arch Binder comfortably lifts and supports the plantar fascia with its elastic sleeve. This helps to relieve pain in both the arch and heel. The Arch Binder slips over the foot like a sleeve, allowing for comfortable positioning. It also offers plenty of support to the forefoot. Universal in size, it fits either the left or right foot. This product is washable and can be used many times with proper care.

At Dr. Jill’s Foot Pads we understand how your feet affect the rest of your body. After all, your feet are the foundation of your entire body. How your feet feel has a significant impact on how the rest of your body feels and performs.

It can also result in knee, hip and back pain.

Pre-fab orthotics can help adjust for biomechanical problems. Other benefits of our pre-fab orthotics include:

Help for Plantar Fasciitis Sufferers

Posted by drjills on in plantar fasciitis0 Comment

At Dr. Jill’s Foot Pads, we know that many patients suffer from plantar fasciitis—an inflammation of the long tendon that runs along the bottom of your foot, the plantar fascia.

Symptoms of plantar fasciitis include:

  • Pain on the bottom of your heel
  • Arch pain
  • Swelling of the heel

In most cases, the pain is usually worse when you first get up in the morning and when you are very active and on your feet for long periods of time. There are multiple causes of this condition but among the most common is fallen arches or flat feet. We offer several products that can ease the discomfort of plantar fasciitis by cushioning the heel and giving support to the arch. These include:

Heel Cup

Our heel cup cushions and protects the heel. It offers long-lasting comfort and relief from heel pain. Our Gel Heel Cup contains gel cushions that go between your heel and bottom of the shoe, providing shock absorption and padding. The pads are re-usable. Simply hand wash with mild soap and water and allow to air dry. They come in multiple sizes to fit men and women and can be used in all styles of footwear. Another product that also gives some cushioning and reduces strain to the plantar fascia is our Plantar Fascial Straps made of moleskin.

Arch Support

Proper support of the arch is essential for patients with plantar fasciitis. Helping the arch maintain its appropriate shape reduces the pressure on the plantar fascia and thereby decreases heel pain and discomfort. Our Plantar Fasciitis Arch Sleeve has a gel pad that is held in place by a comfortable elastic sleeve and gives support to the arch of the foot. The Plantar Fasciitis Arch Sleeve is easy to slip on and also absorbs shock with every step. It can be worn with or without shoes.

Our Arch Binder goes around the center of the foot and provides gentle compression to the arch. This comfortably lifts and supports the plantar fascia, thereby relieving pain in the heel. The Arch Binder fits either the left or right foot.

Both the Arch Binder and the Plantar Fasciitis Arch Sleeve are hand washable and can be used over and over again.
