The Use of Heel Cups in the Medical
Practice
•Heel pain and plantar fasciitis are the
most common foot problem seen in medical
practices
•Scientific research guidelines* released in 2010
recommend prescription of heel cups and stretching
exercises as best initial treatment options
•Implications of using prefabricated heel cups during
initial treatment in the medical practice:
• Free up resources for complicated treatments
• Better Cost alternative
• Maintain role for rigid custom arch supports for
many other severe foot conditions
