Heel Spur Insoles – Targeted Relief for Heel Spurs

Many people suffer from heel pain triggered by various causes. Most often the pain occurs because of nerves located in the bursa between the heel bone and the Achilles tendon, or from the formation of a heel spur. A heel spur is a small projection on the heel bone where tendons or ligaments attach. The discomfort can be eased with a heel-spur insole.

There are highly effective, shock-absorbing heel insoles designed specifically to relieve and treat heel spurs. They feature a horseshoe-shaped rim with a soft—or open—area in the centre, exactly where the spur is located. Some insoles rise up around the heel bone to create a heel cup that gathers the fat pad for extra cushioning. Because these insoles sit loosely in your shoes, you can move them from one pair to another. In some cases, however, it may be best to have custom orthotics made with special heel-spur relief.
