Mars Wellness offers a variety of products, including heel lifts, that can be used for more than just correcting leg-length discrepancy. Used in rehabilitation, heel lifts raise the heel for lower-limb swing-through and improved gait. Used bilaterally, heel lifts can help relieve stretch and strain on the Achilles tendon and calf musculature in conditions such as Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, or heel spurs.

Correction or adjustment of leg length can assist in therapy after amputation, stroke, hip or knee replacement, fractures, or ankle equinus. Firm, adjustable heel lifts are ideal, allowing quick, easy, tool-free adjustments. Lifts placed in the shoe on the affected side can help correct a discrepancy, while lifts placed in the shoe on the unaffected side can help with foot clearance during the swing-through phase of gait.

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, while a shock-absorbing model will help improve patient comfort. For use during sports, a firm lift is required, as soft lifts can easily result in loss of control and stability at the ankle, leading to sprains or falls.

The goal when using heel lifts for Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, or heel spurs 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. Shock-absorbing models can also help relieve related discomfort in the heel area.
