Stephen Bui, DPM, doesn’t think of himself
as an inventor. “I’m a problem-solver,”
Dr. Bui says. And the problem he set out
to solve in 2017 is heel pain, what he and
many other podiatrists say is the main
complaint they hear from their patients.
“I’m an athlete,” Dr. Bui says, “and I suffer
from Achilles tendinitis. I tried the exercise plan
I give to my patients for plantar fasciitis — it takes
30 minutes or so — and I couldn’t do it regularly.
