Heel Cups
The heel cups can be a useful home remedy to treat plantar fasciitis as they reduce the pressure on the calcaneus. The heel cups can also be used to reduce tension in the plantar fascia. This is done by elevating the heel onto a soft cushion or pillow. The heel cups are not only very effective but also easy to use. Heel cups are more effective in treating patients with fat pad syndrome and heel bruises than they are in treating patients with plantar fasciitis. In a study of 411 plantar faciitis patients, heel cups ranked 11th among the most effective treatments.
