What Makes Heel-Right so Effective for the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis / Heel Spurs

There are two primary causes for plantar fasciitis / heel spurs.

  1. An overuse injury causing an inflammation at the intersection point of the plantar fascia into the calcaneal bone of the heel. Long distance runners, soldiers, and those who are on their feet an inordinate amount of time are more prone to developing plantar fasciitis / heel spurs. A hard impact to the heel can also cause injury and inflammation to the plantar fascia.
  2. A slow and gradual collapse of the arch of the foot caused by aging, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle causes the plantar fascia to become more slowly stretched over time and increasing the tension at its insertion point into the calcaneal bone of the heel.

In either case, once plantar fasciitis develops, it can become a very stubborn problem. Doctors tell their patients to expect up to two years for the condition to resolve, with some people suffering much longer.

So what makes Heel-Right so different and effective for treating this aggravating and persistent problem? The two most common products available for the treatment of plantar fasciitis / heel spurs are night splints and arch supports (or heel pads). Night splints provide a stretch to the calf muscle during sleep but as soon as the sufferer stands in the morning the plantar fascia is immediately stressed and the pain returns. Arch supports and heel pads are designed to provide a passive support to the underside of the foot to dissipate the pressure at the site of pain. They are helpful in reshaping the arch over long periods of time which can be helpful, but they do not provide the active support needed to relieve tension on the plantar fascia when the sufferer needs it most.

Heel-Right is the only product available that provides an active support at the site of injury. Heel-Right is designed to actively lift the arch at the point of pain and relieve tension immediately. Using the principle of the "block and tackle pulley system", the patented strapping mechanism generates sufficient force upon the plantar fascia to actually lift the arch and relieve pain immediately. At the same time Heel-Right is actively supporting the plantar fascia it is applying pressure at the sight of pain. This is necessary to provide immediate pain relief so that the sufferer can function at the same time healing is occuring.
