Anyone used this for plantar fasciitis?

I haven't used this product because I cured my plantar fasciitis by wearing a slip on shoe in the house. I found that the condition was aggravated by walking barefooted on tile and wood floors every day.

I have. I use it every morning as soon as I wake up, before I take my first step, and it did more for me in three days than everything else I'd tried combined. I massage it directly into my heel, and around, making sure to seek out the little knot in my heel, then I put sock on to keep my feet warm/cushioned and go. I try to do it again in the afternoon and/or evening, but mornings are a must. I'm still struggling with the fasciitis, but if I skip this step I notice almost immediately, even with all the stretching, shoes, inserts, etc.

I use it for my osteoarthritis on my knee.It helps a bit. So I don't take my NSAID when I use the Penetrex.My doctor said do not take both the drug and the topic ointment as they go to the blood stream the same time.(My doctor prescribed Voltaren).I haven't tried the Voltaren yet.Wait till the Penetrx is used up.On the Penetrex's instruction it says also for people with plantar fasciitis.

Only thing that helped my plantar fascitiitis was switching to Vionic (Orthaheel) shoes. I tried everything else to no avail and finally no more pain! Start with the thong sandals and give yourself a little time to get used to them. A little pricy but totally worth it!

Great Cook said on November 15, 2014 | Edit There is a vitamin on Amazon for plantar fascitits, which is really a bone spur.The Vitamin is Acid A Cal..I'm thinking it makes your body more alkaline, and the spur disappears in a few weeks, never to return..Not only did Acid A Cal take my bones spur away in the heel of my foot, It also took a bone spur away I had in my throat due to a car accident when I was 20..Now I'm a Grandma o)

Dr. Scholl's Custom Fit orthotic inserts cured my plantar fasciitis (the one you stick your foot in the foot mapping machine at Wal-mart to find the one for your foot).

After many months of traditional PF treatment (physical therapy, sleeping in boot, rolling foot on ball. etc..) a chiropractor got rid of it with 2 adjustments to my back.

It helped with my plantar fasciitis. I found additional relief by using the Sole inserts in my sneakers.

Calf stretches, 2 -3 times a day, each leg for 2 minutes, 3 times per leg. I couldn't walk my PF and heel spur was so bad. I was 45 and ready for a wheel chair, which is ridiculous as I am healthy and extremely active and busy. This is the only thing that did it. If done every single day (consistency is key) the PF will be relieved. Stretching is your new normal when you have PF.

Yes. It is great. The deep stretch really helps my foot. Also, I love the different levels it has. So worth the purchase. I give it 5 stars.

I am going to try this cream with silcone heel socks- which works great to reduce the pain from standing on crakced heels. Let us know if you tried it!

Yes. The oils in it make the foot soft.This product is for more than fungus and athlete's foot. It helps with dry skin and swelling too.

It does come in a pair but I could not tell the difference and tried wearing it in a variety of ways, all of which seemed to work. I was not using it for plantar fasciitis, however, but for a high arch and arthritis deterioration which requires padding of the sole behind my big toe so cannot attest how it works for the fasciitis or if left and right would make a significant difference.

You don't state the source of the problem, if it is diabetes, I couldn't say. I have used mine on the heel for plantar fasciitis and it did ease the pain and likely reduced the time of discomfort overall. In either case, it won't hurt to try it, the foam on mine fell off but I just used it without. You might consult your local health store to see if they have anything to restore circulation and support nerve repair in the herbal supplements.

Doubtful. I've tried it on my foot and it doesn't seem to make good enough contact. My wife has this condition and the only thing that seems to help is the boot designed to help stop the pain. There is also a sleeping boot available. Both are available by prescription.

Not 100% sure. It does help with the arch or lack of, or it has for me with planter fasciitis

The way this product is designed you get compression equally at the ankle, heel and arch, which helps greatly if you suffer from plantar faciitis. I am not certain how that compression will feel if you have swelling, but I guess it would give some relief from the swelling if it isn't too tight...

If you are wearing the Gel Plantar Fasciitis Arch Sleeve it should be worn by it self. Insoles are typically used for arch support while the Gel Pad provides relief to the inflamed muscle on the bottom of the foot.

This board is very sturdy and works well to do the hamstring stretches that are so helpful for plantar fasciitis. It is adjustable, which is helpful as you progress with your stretches. I took it to Physical Therapy with me and my therapist was very impressed with it. Said he wished thier office had one as nice.

HelloI'm using it even for Hemorrhoids with great sucsses!I would try it for the feet with no hesitationGood luck!

Yes. I've lost 42 pounds in six months. I am also paying attention to what I'm eating. I don't use mine for long stretches all day, but rather focus on 20-30 minutes of more intense work (it's definitely aerobic). This is especially fantastic for someone who might have limited mobility due to plantar fasciitis (why I started) or someone just starting out with exercise (also me).

Yes! They work great! I use on my rough areas of my feet a few times a week after a night time shower, go to bed with socks & vaseline on my feet, my feet look & feel great by morning! :-)

yes I did, but it's not worth the cost. The sleeve would ride up on my big toe and it made it uncomfortable to wear. I ended up using my prescription insert.

I've tried it all. This is the best I've found for plantar fasciitis. The hard plastic stabilizes the heel, gel will not. The heel cup provides almost immediate relief. I was amazed.

I have not worn inserts myself, but believe these are thin enough to be worn with whatever you have that goes inside your shoe. They're good for any kind of foot pain that's from the front part of the arch and forward. I used this inside my sock to help me stay on my feet when my foot hurt. When that wasn't tight enough to allow me to put in my daily 2 mile walk, I added white tape around the outside of my sock. The combination allowed me to continue. These are inexpensive, so try them. Follow instructions for wearing and washing to keep them in good shape.
