Months of heel pain? Time for the big guns.

When heel pain moves in for months, cushioning alone stops cutting it — you need structure. A real orthotic insole supports the arch so the fascia stops screaming, a night splint stretches it while you sleep, and heel cups handle the day-to-day. This is the protocol podiatrists actually recommend.
