Dr. Tom’s Product Picks for Foot Cramps
These are the three products I most often send home with foot cramp patients at Balance Foot & Ankle. Each targets a different part of the problem — mechanics, activity support, and pain relief.
PowerStep Pinnacle Maxx insoles — proper arch support reduces the overwork in small foot muscles that triggers cramping in the first place.
CURREX RunPro insoles — athletic-shoe support that keeps intrinsic foot muscles from fatiguing during activity.
Doctor Hoy’s Natural Pain Relief Gel — massage it into the arch during a cramp episode — the menthol cooling plus massage helps the muscle release.
