April is Foot Health Awareness Month – Pamper Your Feet With a Z-CoiL® Treat

(I-Newswire) March 31, 2005 - (Albuquerque, NM) - Your feet take tremendous abuse. The impact of walking can deliver a force that is two to three times your body weight, and three to five times your body weight when running! No wonder the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMS) has declared April to be Foot Health Awareness Month, to focus attention on this often-neglected, yet hardest-working part of the body.

"I have been off work for over one year, now going on two because of plantar fasciitis. I have had three different podiatrists as well, numerous orthotics, then I was given a series of shots, from cortisone to steroids and even shots to dissolve nerves in my heels. Nothing worked!" says Jovonne Rodriguez of San Bernardino, CA. By chance she discovered Z-CoiL® Pain Relief Footwear™ and says the shoes have made all the difference.

For millions of people like Jovonne who suffer from foot pain, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, arthritis, or lower back pain, finding relief from pain may be as simple as finding the right footwear.

"Your Z-CoiL® shoes are a miracle!" Jovonne adds. "Now I actually look forward to going to the mall or to any function just to walk around. I don't go places and just sit anymore; I'm up and moving or socializing. People don't realize that they don't have to go through life with foot pain. I can't say enough about how your shoes have helped me."

Al Gallegos, a 73-year-old maverick in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has persevered for years to develop a revolutionary line of footwear that offers a radical alternative for foot, leg and back pain relief. These unique looking shoes with a conical-shaped coil in the heel have dramatically changed the lives of thousands of people who report either complete relief or a significant reduction in pain when wearing their Z-CoiL® footwear.

"Talk about a difference! Within a short amount of time I stopped hurting, I had energy to spare and was willing to venture out after work," says Sarah Noyes of Orem, UT. "Any excuse I could find to wear my Z-CoiL® shoes, I'd act on it. I had my life back, and running my errands was no longer a daunting task. I'd hate to think what would have happened to me if I had not found Z-CoiL® shoes when I did."

Z-CoiL® footwear features a unique coil under the heel, which absorbs up to 50 percent of the impact from walking or running, according to studies by Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories. A rigid, built-in orthotic supports the mid-foot, equalizing pressure distribution, while extra cushioning at the forefoot and a permanent flex line at the ball of the foot improve comfort in the metatarsal area. This total foot support means less impact to the body and less pain.

Many podiatrists and orthopedic specialists agree. "I now commonly recommend Z-CoiL® shoes to my patients for foot, ankle, leg, knee, hip and all back pain," says Aaron B. Kaufman, a Doctor of Osteopathy in Albuquerque, New Mexico, who wears the shoes himself. "It's hard to think about wearing any other shoes now because these feel so good. I tell my patients that I'm addicted to my Z-CoiL® shoes!"

A small company on a mission, Z-CoiL Footwear is gaining a tremendous and loyal following nationwide as word of its pain relief benefits is spreading, with more than 200 authorized dealers nationwide.
