Treating foot pain without surgery

By GLORIA CAMPOS / WFAA-TV

DALLAS - While the women's dress shoe industry is a $15 billion annual business, another $5 billion is spent each year trying to find relief for aching feet.

But there is some good news: Most foot pain can be treated without surgery.

"This is public enemy number one," said Dr. Kelly Walker while eyeing a high-heeled sandal in a catalog. "They are beautiful and I would like to be able to wear them every day, but I can't either."

Walker, a podiatrist, said she knows about foot pain first hand since she suffers from plantar fasciitis. (Read More, Watch Video)

- Love these shoes! I have bad knees too, and since I started wearing Z-Coils I am pain free! I agree with reality_curious that these shoes are more forgiving than most as the coil will adjust itself on uneven ground better. I run outside with them and they’re great. Thanks, Z-Coil! (jewbana)

- I have been wearing these shoes for about a year at the initial urging by a friend of mine. Over the years I have suffered a number of injuries, most as a result of a head on collision 22 years ago. I had three knee surgeries, a compressed disc, two herniated discs and a resulting bone spur on my spine. In addition, I previously broke both my feet in separate accidents.

I didn’t think these shoes would help, but after a little coaxing I now own three pairs, the sneaker, dress shoe and a hiking boot. I hiked twice in the hiking boot each time for over 5 miles. I love them! I am glad to see they are making it to the mainstream! I always get a lot of questions when I wear them. (ChiTown)

Shoes to help ease your pain and improve posture

One of the most often asked questions is: "Are they stable?" Also, many people look at the shoe and comment that they would fall off the shoe.

In all actuality, the Z-coil is the most stable shoe in the market place. Just like a shock absorber for a car, the Z-Coil works the terrain the same way. It always wants to keep you stable. It is very hard to fall or twist and ankle. (Read More)

The coil in the heel is cone-shaped, and so it compresses straight down, following the line of least resistance rather than tipping. The flexible coil also absorbs some surface deviations to protect the ankle. - Z-CoiL FAQ

Locally produced for the West Columbia, South Carolina retail store, this TV Commerical tells the Z-CoiL story in 60 seconds.

Testimonial: Elizabeth Sutton

Elizabeth Sutton talks about how Z-CoiLs improved her quality of life.

Z-CoiL® Pain Relief Footwear® design features a unique conical steel coil in the heel, which absorbs up to 50% of the impact from walking or running and delivers a 40 to 50% energy return.

This spring-suspension system works in conjunction with a rigid, built-in orthotic that distributes pressure evenly across the mid-foot, dramatically reducing the pain caused by heel spurs or plantar fasciitis.

Thick, resilient cushioning under the forefoot and a rocker sole further reduce the shock of impact to the body. And less impact means less pain.
