The Aircast AirHeel is for plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. The wrap applies safe, intermittent compression and support to minimize swelling and relieve pain.
This brace works by providing a slight lift to the arch that helps support the plantar fascia, thereby reducing stress and alleviating inflammation to the arch region.
Use alone or with other forms of therapy to provide pain relief. Gentle compression firmly supports the lower leg muscles and soft tissue while stimulating circulation and maintaining neutral warmth.
Applying compression to the Achilles Tendon helps reduce stress to the problem area. Upward pressure is applied to the heel, causing the heel to lift slightly.
Tensile forces placed upon the achilles tendon are decreased when strap is applied, providing an early heel rise to further reduce stress on the tendon.
High quality, medical grade viscoelastic heel cushions, reduce shock load and assist with heel positioning. Cushions have a heel rim so they won't slide in the shoe.
The only heel cushions clinically proven 95% effective for relieving initial heel pain. A softer, blue "spot" is correctly placed on the medial side of the cushion to relieve the area most sensitive to plantar fasciitis and general heel pain.
Comfortable, long lasting, full-length medical-grade viscoelastic silicone insoles incorporate areas of softer density in the heel and under the ball of the foot.
