Dr. Tom’s Foundation Wellness Partner Products
These are the brands we use in our clinic and recommend to patients daily. Each product has been personally tested by our podiatrists on thousands of patients.
PowerStep Orthotics — Our #1 OTC Insole
The OTC orthotic I recommend most in our clinic. Medical-grade arch support at a fraction of custom orthotic cost. Available in three models:
- Pinnacle — Best all-around for plantar fasciitis, heel pain, and everyday support
- Maxx — Maximum stability for severe flat feet and overpronation
- Pulse — Performance model for running and athletics
Doctor Hoy’s Natural Pain Relief Gel
Natural topical pain relief I use in our clinic. Arnica + camphor formula — apply directly to the painful area 3-4x daily. Effective for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, bunion pain, and post-surgical soreness.
CURREX Performance Insoles
The insole I put in my own running shoes. Dynamic flex zones adapt to your gait in real time. Available in RunPro, HikePro, and WorkPro models for sport-specific support.
DASS Medical Compression Socks
Graduated medical compression socks for patients needing daily compression support. Available in 15-20mmHg and 20-30mmHg for post-surgical recovery, swelling management, and diabetic circulation.
Foot Petals — Women’s Shoe Cushions
Designed specifically for women’s shoes where a full insole won’t fit. Discreet ball-of-foot cushioning with Tip Toes and heel grip with Heavenly Heelz.
FLAT SOCKS — No-Sock Shoe Inserts
The barefoot feel without the sweat. Slides into any shoe as a no-sock alternative. Antimicrobial + moisture-wicking for patients who prefer going sockless but need foot hygiene.
Products Only Help So Much
If you’ve tried these recommendations and your pain persists, it’s time to see a podiatrist. Our board-certified foot doctors are accepting new patients at both Michigan locations.

🧦 Dr. Tom’s Pick: DASS Medical Compression Socks
Medical-grade 15-20 mmHg graduated compression. DASS socks are the brand I recommend most to patients with swollen feet, poor circulation, and post-surgery recovery. Graduated compression means tightest at the ankle, gradually releasing up the leg — promoting upward venous blood flow.
