Cushioning and support are used to alleviate heel pain and discomfort associated with conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, or Achilles tendonitis.

Heel supports provide cushioning that helps with shock absorption. Wearing heel cups and other heel supports alleviates pain by reducing the impact on your heel during movement. By absorbing the shock that would otherwise travel through your heel, these supports effectively minimize discomfort and contribute to a more pain-free experience.

Heel Cup for Heel Pain

Heel supports aid in pain relief and absorbing shock. Taping can help to support lax muscles and reduce tension on tight muscles. Together they can provide support to allow the heel to heal and minimizes further strain on the affected area.

Heel supports can come in various forms, such as heel cup inserts, heel pads, or heel cushions, and tape. They are designed to absorb shock, support, and reduce pressure on the heel. In essence, heel supports function as a buffer between your heel and the impacts of daily activities.
