Quick answer: Treatment for foot ankle bursitis types causes treatment follows a stepwise approach: 1) conservative care first (rest, ice, supportive footwear, OTC anti-inflammatories), 2) physical therapy and targeted exercises, 3) in-office treatments (injections, custom orthotics) if conservative fails at 4-6 weeks, 4) surgery for refractory cases. Most patients resolve at step 1 or 2. Call (810) 206-1402.
PowerStep Dynamic Ankle Stability Sock (DASS)
Best for: Chronic ankle instability · Repeat ankle sprains · Proprioception training · Athletes returning to play
DR. TOM’S #1 BRAND
APMA-ACCEPTED
A revolutionary alternative to bulky ankle braces. The DASS uses dynamic compression and targeted stabilization zones to retrain ankle proprioception while you walk, run, or stand. Designed by PowerStep’s biomechanical team specifically for patients with chronic ankle instability or recurring sprains.
- Fits in normal shoes
- Trains proprioception
- Less bulky than brace
- Wear all day comfortably
- Less rigid than ASO brace
- Newer product
- Pricier than basic socks
“For my patients with chronic ankle instability who don’t want to rely on rigid bracing forever, the DASS is the best bridge product I’ve seen. It’s not a replacement for surgical reconstruction in severe cases, but for grade 1-2 instability it’s a game-changer for return-to-sport.”

Dr. Tom’s Product Picks for Foot & Ankle Bursitis
These are the three products I most often send home with bursitis patients at Balance Foot & Ankle. Each targets a different part of the problem — mechanics, activity support, and pain relief.
PowerStep Pinnacle Maxx insoles — cushioned, supportive insoles that offload the inflamed bursa at the heel or ball of the foot.
CURREX RunPro insoles — a lower-volume option for athletic shoes that still cushions the irritated area during activity.
Doctor Hoy’s Natural Pain Relief Gel — a natural topical anti-pain gel you can apply directly over the tender, inflamed spot several times a day.
