Treatment for heel pain is focused on preventative measures and pain management, including the following: Designed to combat heel pain, the Trio Heel Pain Orthotics combines a convenient shape and cushioning support to relieve aching feet.Litzy usually recommends these to patients for wearing in sneakers and other flat shoes—just not heels. “They can easily be trimmed to fit your shoes for a comfortable fit. They are a more stable or rigid orthotic, so you must break them in with a wear schedule,” she says. Litzy recommends one hour of walking time the first day you use them, then increasing to two hours the second day, three hours the third day, and so on until you’re wearing them full time.
