Footsmart Dual Density Gel Heel Cups - Deal with Heel Pain

Sometimes heel pain can be a symptom of illness and disease. When this is the case, Footsmart dual-density gel heel cups can provide some relief. But more will be needed. You will need to address the medical condition that is contributing to your heel discomfort. Blood tests, X-rays and diagnostic studies are vital to uncover the cause of your heel condition and pain.

There are several illnesses that can cause heel pain. Reiters disease, colitis, stiff back arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus can contribute to heel pain. The following is a brief overview of each:

• Reiters Disease - Reiters disease is a viral disease that can cause eye inflammation, back pain and stomach problems. Reiters is a rheumatic disease and can also affect joints, sexual organs, heart, lungs and kidneys.
• Colitis - Colitis is an inflammatory disease of the bowels. Foot pain can be a secondary symptom and early warning sign of this condition.
• Stiff Back Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis - Arthritic conditions can cause stiffening and pain in all joints including those of the feet and toes.
• Systemic Lupus - While it is rare, lupus and other systemic conditions can cause and contribute to heel pain.

Any condition that causes inflammation can affect foot health. The condition doesn't even have to be present in the foot. Arthritis of the hip and knee can cause you to change your stride which will place additional pressure on the heel. Any changes in your stance and stride can cause foot problems, especially those of the heel.
