Heel Pain/Plantar Fasciitis  Hot / Cold Therapy
|
|
Heel pain (plantar fasciitis) can flare up when the plantar fascia ligament that stretches from the heel to the ball of the foot – which also supports the arch – becomes inflamed. Reducing inflammation and relieving tension with hot / cold therapy goes a long way in helping to alleviate heel pain, especially in the morning when you first get out of bed.

| Although heel pain can progressively worsen if gone untreated, the good news is that there are several solutions available for treatment and relief. Cold therapy helps to decrease swelling, inflammation and pain. While heat therapy helps relax stiffness, improve flexibility and relieve heel pain. Scientific studies show that regular use of a night splint also helps treat plantar fasciitis, especially when including an ice pack. FootSmart offers cold / hot therapy products to help treat heel pain and keep you walking in comfort. |
