Tuli Heel Cups, Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain

It has been reported that plantar fasciitis, a type of heel pain, occurs in two million Americans a year. In order to relieve this pain, many use Tuli Heel Cups to cushion the heel and relieve discomfort.

Heel Pain:

Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammation of the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a thick fibrous band of connective tissue on the bottom surface of the calcaneus (heel bone) and extending along the sole of the foot toward the toes. Pain is usually felt on the underside of the heel and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. The most common cause of plantar fasciitis relates to the faulty structure of the foot. For example, people who have problems with their arches – overly flat feet or high-arched feet – are more prone to developing plantar fasciitis. Wearing non-supportive footwear on hard, flat surfaces puts abnormal strain on the plantar fascia and can also lead to plantar fasciitis. This is particularly evident when someone's job requires standing for long hours. Obesity may also contribute to plantar fasciitis. Another symptom of plantar fasciitis is having difficulty bending the foot so that the toes are brought toward the shin. Plantar fasciitis can increase the probability of knee pain and other pain in the legs and affect ones gait. This is where Tuli Heel Cups can provide great relief.

Causes:

Heel pain is caused by many things. Those who spend most of the day on their feet or suddenly become active over a short period of time can suffer from pain but other medical factors can be the cause. People who are diabetic, or overweight can also suffer. In most cases, people who have problems with their feet, such as high or no arch, are more prone to heel problems.  

Treatment:

Patients suffering from plantar fasciitis can receive treatment through chiropractic, massage therapy, podiatrists and physical therapists. A non-surgical way to relieve suffering is to use Tuli Heel Cups. These shoe inserts help heel pain sufferers to relieve arch, ankle, leg and back pain associated with everyday heel strike. Tuli Heel Cups are also effective in preventing sore heels, shin splints and heel spurs.

Made from a clear polymer gel, Tuli Heel Cups self-adjusts to fit your unique foot contour and absorb the painful foot shock that aggravates heel pain and spurs. These heel cups fit easily in athletic or work shoes and can be used any time prolonged heel pressure is expected. Some patients choose to wear them in their shoes everyday no matter what amount of walking or standing they plan to experience. They are comfortable enough for both long hours standing on your feet and running or other exercises. Mondo Medical Supplies, Inc. is a distributor for Tuli Heel Cups.
