Editorial Review: The most popular Bauerfeind product, the ViscoSpot heel cushion is clinically proven to be 95% effective for the initial treatment of heel pain (plantar fasciitis). You will not find this grade of product at your local pharmacy. This is a medical grade product prescribed by doctors to treat conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel spur, heel pain, arthritis and more. Bauerfeind ViscoSpot's viscoelastic heel cushions have a softer silicone blue "spot" anatomically placed for additional cushioning where heel pain originates. Made of high quality medical grade silicone, ViscoSpot provides superior comfort and long lasting effectiveness. In fact, Bauerfeinds viscoelastic heel cushions have been clinically proven effective in the initial treatment of heel pain (plantar fasciitis) when used in conjunction with plantar fascia stretching exercises. The use of a devise such as the Thermoskin Plantar FXT or Swede-O Night Splint are usually prescribed by doctors to also be used as part of the t...

 excellent heel cushioning, 2008-04-22
good shock absorption, but does raise the heel a little more than I need. Next time I plan to purchase the full insole to keep my foot more level in the shoe, but the bauerfiend products give the best cushioning of any shoe insole I've found on the market.

 Good cushions to reduce plantar faciitis pain, but not a miracle cure, 2007-04-21
These cushions were recommended to me by a physician, but one from a medical specialty that doesn't involve treating feet or orthopedic problems.
This product is well designed and manufactured, and I like the support and comfort it provides substantially better than the four or five different types of so-called "orthotic" cushioning/support products (e.g., from Dr. Scholl's) that I bought over-the-counter at pharmacies and grocery stores. "Gellin'" may be fine for most folks, but slightly squishy insoles just don't cut the mustard, nor do ordinary rubbery-plastic inserts.
My subjective, anecdotal impression, however, is that the ViscoSpot cushions have indeed lessened the pain and inflammation I otherwise would likely have suffered while walking or on my feet for long periods. Anyone with this condition knows that a hard step-down can result in a searing, stumble-inducing pain. These cushions do significantly lessen the shock, as compared either to using no device or the other cushions/devices I've tried.
But these cushions have not yet "cured" or substantially improved my plantar faciitis, despite about a month of use now. (My symptoms date back about four months.)
I don't know how these may compare with prescription "orthotic" devices that are custom fitted by foot doctors. I've been trying to cure my problem "on the cheap," but I've ended up spending about $200 so far on various stretching and exercise products, along with various cushions. Maybe I should have bitten the bullet and seen a specialist doc to begin with, I dunno.
