What is Heel Pain?
The Pathomechanics of Heel Impact
Heel pain (Calcaneodynia) is typically caused by repetitive stress on the heel bone and the soft tissues attached to it. It often involves the plantar fascia, but can also be caused by heel spurs or the thinning of the protective fat pad under the heel.
When the foot is not properly supported, the heel bone takes excessive impact with every step. This can lead to inflammation of the bursa, stress fractures, or the development of bony spurs as the body tries to protect itself.
Common Symptoms:
- Sharp pain directly under the heel.
- Feeling like there is a "stone bruise" on the heel.
- Pain that is worse after sitting or first thing in the morning.
- Redness or swelling around the heel pad.
Fast Facts
- Prevalence: 2 million Americans seek treatment for heel pain annually.
- Risk: Hard surfaces and unsupportive shoes worsen symptoms.
- Correction: Deep heel cups consolidate the fat pad for natural cushion.

Get Custom SupportWhy Orthotics Are The Primary Treatment
The goal of treatment is to Cushion & Stabilize.
Custom orthotics provide a "Deep Heel Cup" that wraps around the heel bone. This physically gathers the natural fat pad under your heel, enhancing your body's own shock absorption. By stabilizing the calcaneus, we prevent the abnormal motion that aggravates spurs and inflamed tissue.

Treating the Root Cause of Heel Pain
Why Generic Insoles Fail
Drugstore gels and foams are designed to compress. They cushion the impact but fail to offer a deep heel seat, causing the fat pad to spread and thin out, leaving the bone unprotected.
Fat Pad Consolidation
Bilt Labs custom orthotics feature a deep heel cup that cradles the calcaneus. This design gathers your natural fat pad back under the bone, using your body's own tissue for maximum shock absorption.
Laser-Precision Manufacturing
Your orthotics aren't pulled off a shelf. They are milled from a solid block of medical-grade polymer using robotic CNC technology right here in the USA.
