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.

I don't know. I don't see why not. It works for my heel, arch, toes and fingers. A few drops go a long way; might be worth a try

I have used it on my foot for nerve pain, and it seemed to help. The pad is rigid and has no strap to keep it in position, so I place it face up on a surface and put my foot on it. Try it on less than full power as it can get hot after about 15 minutes.

Wearing tight socks have the same effect as this thing. I wear a 10 and bought a large, and it was way too tight...this contraption did NOTHING for my Plantar Fasciitis.

Lemon Essential Oil worked on my plantar warts! It took 6 weeks. I applied every morning and every night!

I've never used the foot cream, but the pain cream has been wonderful for my knee replacement challenge which has lasted a long time. I also sent some to my friend who has shingles and it helped her a lot.

I've only had mine for just over three months, but it works fine. After a thorough foot massage I find it useful for increasing circulation and it reliably gets rid of occasional swelling in my feet when the massage alone has failed.

I agree with Up4Grabs. Perfect for for long, fast paced, walking for those with plantar fasciitis. We just walked all over Italy and couldn't have done it without these!

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.

I bought it for my husband who has diabetic neuropathy and his feet tingle and hurt at night. He used it a lot in the beginning but it really didn't help that much. The thing that's helped him the most is Magnilife Diabetic Nerve Cream. Good luck!

Generally people dont need padding to "cure" PF they need arch support. Superfeet makes a much better over the counter arch support then Dr Scholls (who make the general public think padding is what cures foot pain which is incorrect for the most part). Custom is always best obviously, but I know they can be very expensive and the majority of insurances do not cover them. There is also the possibility that if this is a chronic condition, a more involved process such as a nerve entrapment, is taking place. I would suggest finding a local podiatrist who can offer injections to help with the inflammation along with a few other modalities.

No- and I'm not really sold on the ankle support either. I had major heel surgery back in early Sep last year and still in rehab with more ankle and Achilles pain now than in my heel. I'm trying out the cheap products to avoid overspending on things that Tricare won't cover and I may not need down the road. I bought this product, hoping that some of the compression would help me out in the Achilles. It doesn't. The ankle gel foam would get 3 stars maybe 3.5 max. Also, I've noticed some pain in my plantar which I didn't have before. Of course, my situation is different than yours, but I hope this helps. No- and I'm not really sold on the ankle support either.

I used WalkFit Orthotics and night splints Medium PLANTAR FASCITIS Night SPLINT (Colors may vary) It took awhile, but the plantar fasciitis that I'd suffered with for two or three years cleared up. Word to the wise: Don't wear cute shoes with no cushioning or arch support. . . No matter how pretty they are. I'm treating again. I only wore them for one day for my son's wedding. Price of beauty, I guess. ;o)

First, I am a doctor and I have patients with plantar fasciitis. I bought this thinking it would be able to help them while they sat in my reception room. 2 tried it and did not care for it at all. I tried it and it tickled my feet more than anything. It may be helpful for someone with Plantar Fascitis, but it isn't going to solve the problem.

They are sold for use in yoga...If you stand on the incline, you can stretch out the calf. If you're familiar with yoga, the stretch might be likened to downward dog. This stretch can help with plantars fasciitis in the foot. The foam density is like a pool noodle - very firm.

I have plantar facisitis and have had it for years. These heel cups, in my opinion, put pressure on the sides of my heel, forcing the bottom of my heel to be higher off the ground as I walk. I even got the childrens size cause they are more narrow, hence more pressure. They were especially helpful with closed pumps. Hope this helps.

Yes. It works best after showers or on callus cream/lotion. I also bought one for my mom. She is diabetic and it really helps her feet for smooth bottom.
