Paradigm Medical offers Orthopedic Footwear and Footcare solutions available for patients suffering from Heel Spurs and Foot Pain
Heel spurs occur when calcium deposits build up on the underside of the heel bone, a process that usually occurs over a period of many months. They are often caused by strains on foot muscles and ligaments, stretching of the plantar fascia, and repeated tearing of the membrane that covers the heel bone.
What causes heel spurs and other foot pains?
- Repetitive overuse
- Impact injuries
- Running, jumping or other strenuous activities
- Wearing high heels
- Arch pain
- Other assorted causes
Best ways to treat heel spurs and other foot pains
Full recovery from heel pain takes, on average, six months to resolve with appropriate treatment. Here are some tips:
Stretch. Most heel pain syndromes have similar treatment – the mainstay is a home stretching program that involves daily stretches with good technique and frequency.
Wear appropriate shoes for your activity. Wear running shoes for running, hiking shoes for hiking, etc.
Buy the right shoes. Choose shoes that don’t rub over any part of the foot or against any bunions or bone prominence. Use extra padding or arch support to alleviate sore bones and relieve pressure.
Silicone Heel Cups absorb shock, relieve pressure and cushion heels to ease pain. ‘Blue Zone’ Comfort Spots provide softer Silicone for extra protection under high-sensitivity areas.
