✓Everyday Use
A measurable leg-length difference can have negative effects on the lower back, sacroiliac joint, hips, knees, lower leg, or feet, often a result of the body compensating for the leg-length difference. These effects are often further exacerbated during physical activities that involve running, where proper alignment and balance are critical to performance. A relatively firm, in-compressible wedge is recommended for everyday use.
✓Heel Spurs, Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis
The goal here is to decrease strain and stress on the Achilles tendon and calf musculature. Lifts should always be used in both shoes to maintain balance and alignment and to avoid knee, hip, or back pain. Adjustable heel lifts often work best because the height can gradually be reduced as the condition improves without requiring multiple height lifts.
