Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs are the #1 reason that doctors send patients to visit us at Run Fit Sports.
Detailed here are products that we offer to aid in the treatment of this condition:
Quality shoes that offer the correct combination of stability and cushioning:
Cheaply made shoes can contribute to plantar fasciitis and heel spurs by not offering enough support under the arch of
the shoe. If you hold your shoe in front of you with one hand on the heel and one hand pressing against the front of
the shoe and the shoe bends under the arch, it could be causing your condition or making it worse. At Run Fit Sports,
we have the absolute best selection of quality running/walking shoes in Middle Georgia at the guaranteed best prices.
We will perofrm a computerized analysis and help guide you to finding the perfect shoe for your unique foot type.
Powerstep Insoles:
Powerstep insoles are designed to offer superior arch support to take the pressure off the connection of the plantar
fascia to the heel. Powersteps also have a deep heel cup to help cradle and stablalize the heel.
Strassburg Sock:
Most people sleep with their toes pointed. During the night, the tears in the plantar fascia tissue start to heal
in this relaxed position. When you get out of bed in the morning and step on the floor, your foot forms a 90 degree
angle, tearing all the newly healed tissue. This is a cylcle that keeps repeating every night, preventing healing.
The Strassburg sock works by keeping your foot at a 90 degree angle all night, allowing the tissue to heal in this position,
therefore no re-tearing every morning.
