The Scholl Orthaheel Gel Heel Pain Reliever has been designed specifically for those people suffering with pain in the heel area. This gel product fits closely around the heel, cushioning it and relieving areas of high pressure. It also changes the position of the heel by elevating and holding it in position. This can reduce the forces acting on the heel and on the tissues attached to it such as the plantar fascia (under the heel) and the Achilles tendon (at the back of the heel) and so help to reduce pain in these areas.
