At the Foot and Ankle Center of Washington, we are experts in solving heel pain that is caused from plantar fasciitis. Over the years we’ve stayed current on the latest treatments, including the use of arch supports for plantar fasciitis.  If your heel pain has only been present for a few weeks, then home treatment is often effective.  In this situation, you can try our heel pain treatment plan.

This plan includes wearing arch supports for heel pain relief. The OTC best choice is the Powerstep Medical Grade Orthotic. This prefabricated arch support takes the pressure off a sore heel and reduces tension on the plantar fascia. The result is greater cushioning, pain relief, weight distribution, and support.

While an even better option for arch supports are custom orthotics for heel pain prescribed by a podiatrist, the Powerstep Medical Grade Orthotic is a quality alternative. Some of its pain relief features include a prescription-like, medical grade polypropylene shell, maximum shock absorption, and a well- contoured heel for stability. 

Keep in mind that orthotics will have the best results when they are custom made and prescribed by a specialist using the proper techniques. However, many heel pain patients find the Powerstep Medical Grade Orthotic is all they need. This orthotic can be an inexpensive way to start treatment; however it will not fit as closely to the arch as custom orthotics.
