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
