Foot and Ankle Supports

This pair of Donjoy Silicone Heel Cups is no different from any other high quality heel wedge but it is less expensive. Heel wedges help relieve discomfort and pain caused by, plantar fasciitis, bursitis and Achilles tendonitis. Recommended to help reduce shock and vibration loads to heels, hip and knee joints and lower back.

When you are recommending these to your patients do not forget to measure their leg lengths so that you can advise on whether to wear one on each side. Why not buy several pairs to avoid constant changing over for different shoes. The postage is the same for one pair as for four!
