Question:
I have Baxter's Nerve Entrapment. Which of your products will help relieve my pain? I really don't want to have surgery.
Answer:
Baxter's Nerve Entrapment refers to an entrapment of the calcaneal branch of the posterior tibial nerve (Baxter's Nerve). Baxter's entrapment results in plantar heel pain. Pronation (foot rolling inward) or flattening of the arch may also contribute to increased pressure. some of the best products to help with this pain would be products that raise the heel and take the pressure off the nerve. Products that keep you from pronating the foot would also help.
Heel Cups PQ Gel help lift the heel while also dampening and reducing heel strike shock. This helps to reduce pain in your heels.

Question:
What's the difference between this and the other heel lifts you have on here?
Answer:
You have to be sure that you're choosing the right heel product for the right condition. Heel cushions, like the PQ Gel heel cushion and heel lifts are two distinctly different products. Heel cushions are soft and will compress. Heel lifts, on the other hand, are firm and are used to weaken the force of the calf. So a heel cushion might be used for atrophy (thinning) of the fat pad of the heel, while a heel lift would be sued to treat Sever's disease, Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. some customers use both; a cork heel lift for lift and a PQ Gel cushion to feel good. Whatever works, right?
Question:
I have very narrow feet and wear a woman's size 11 super narrow/AAAA and they are still too wide in the heel. If I wear flats my foot pulls out of the right shoe. Even when I wear shoes that tie, the heel rubs up and down on the shoe. Consequently, I have a callus on the outside of the right heel that I cannot get rid of. My Dr. or I can shave the dead skin off but we are not able to cure the situation. Will the Heel Cups - PQ Gel help my situation by making the shoe heel narrower and maybe stop the rubbing?
Answer:
The Heel Cups - PQ Gel may be a really good solution and may help the foot fit into the heel of the shoe, but a better solution may be to try our Pedag STOP Heel Grips they are made to stop slipping heels and to cushion them as well.
