The Best Products For My Plantar Fasciitis I have had terrible foot and heel pain for over two years now, I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis and underwent several weeks of physical therapy, this got me back on my feet but the pain never went away.
Almost two months ago I ordered several of your products hoping I could get some relief for this pain...wow did it work! After activities I use the Freezie wrap, several times a day the Inferno wrap and at least three times a day Ultrasound, finally I sleep with the Night Splint with Tread.
I am no longer afraid to step out of bed in the morning and am able to once again exercise normally. Thank you for these great products! Rating:  Guy C, Fort Lauderdale FL Noticeable Decrease in Plantar Fasciitis Pain with Inferno, Freezie and Ultrasound I have plantar fasciitis, which began over 20 years ago and has gotten progressively worse. I stand for prolonged periods of time, often 5-8 hrs a day as a fine arts painter.
I have spent approximately $1000 for various custom made inserts, tried several types of expensive shoes supposedly designed for plantar fasciitis, had two sessions of physical therapy at different clinics, sought treatment with a podiatrist who mainly wanted to do an expensive surgical procedure and offered no other treatment than more inserts. None really successful.
After about 2hrs researching plantar fasciitis on Google, I decided to try MendMeShop. After about two weeks of adherence to the treatment plan outlined by MendMeShop there was a noticable decrease in pain and I am well pleased with the results so far. If improvement continues at the present rate I should be pain free before years end. Rating: David Farmer, Kentucky
More Plantar Facts:
The plantar fascia supports the arch of the foot in carrying the weight of the body.
Approximately 90% of women and 40% of men with plantar fasciitis are overweight.
It frequently affects athletes, people who are on their feet all day and those over 40 years of age.
Among professional athletes, plantar fasciitis is one of the 5 most common foot and ankle injuries.
If left untreated the condition could become chronic and can lead to a host of other issues.
Most sufferers are able to overcome the pain with non-invasive therapy.
Night splints prevent contraction and stretch your plantar fascia while you sleep to help with pain.
Treatment includes avoiding the activity, icing the inflammation, gently stretching and warming the area.
Ultrasound can speed plantar fasciitis recovery significantly. College Basketball Player Finds the Answer to Seismoiditis Pain Over two years ago, while serving in the U.S. Air Force, I suffered a bad foot injury. Ever since, I have dealt with constant and severe pain from that injury which developed into seismoiditis in my left foot. It seemed that every day the pain grew worse even though I visited several foot and orthopedic specialists and did extensive rehabilitation exercises and wore several different pairs of orthotics.
Trying to play college basketball was agony, and then I developed plantar fasciitis in my right foot. Nothing was working.
Finally I was told that I would never be better until I quit my sport. I would get upset with my mom when she refused to believe there was no help for me. She wouldn't give up praying and searching.
One day she came to my college and told me she had something else she wanted me to try. I began to use the energy wrap and ultrasound devices.
Within two weeks I began to notice a significant change in the way my feet felt, and slowly the pain began to grow less severe. I am proud to say now, after a month, I am experiencing many pain free days even though I practice basketball four hours a day five days a week. The energy wrap and ultra sound devices have truly been an answer to prayer.
Rating: Stephen McClellan, Cleveland, Tennessee My Plantar Fasciitis Is Better Only After One Week I have been using the Platinum Plantar/Spur Therapy Combo which includes the Ultrasound device, Plantar Inferno Wrap, and Plantar Freezie Wrap for about 10 days now to treat my plantar faciitis.
I have had a noticeable decrease in my pain and an increase in my range of function. The ultrasound is my magic wand to me. Although I had been applying heat and ice before, the Inferno Plantar Wrap and Freezie Plantar Wrap are much more efficient ways to do it. The wraps fit comfortably on my small foot and apply the correct or even adjustable levels of temperature. The compression does its job physiologically, but it just plain feels good! And when you have PF, that alone is a joy!
I am quite optimistic that continuing this therapy plan on my own will lead to a painless, comfortable foot. Thank you very sincerely for your high-quality product and kind personal attention. To purchase a product with a 60 day money back guarantee is a relief. That amount of time is truly necessay to see if it provides long-term relief. Rating: S. Reedy, Oregon Ultrasound Worked Better Than Plantar Fasciitis Surgery >How nice to receive a letter from your company. I appreciate your concern and the fact that you/your company care. I think you must be the only business that truly cares about it's clients. Thank you.
I purchased my ultrasound device primarily for plantar fasciitis in both feet. I had surgery (Topaz procedure) done on both feet in October 2008. When that failed and actually made my feet worse I found a different Dr. that performed Shockwave Therapy to both feet to the tune of $16,000.00. It helped somewhat, however, I was still experiencing a lot of pain especially after working on my feet all day as an Orthodontic Assistant. When he recommended ultrasound 3 times/week for six weeks I decided that I needed to take things in to my own hands as it would have cost me $75.00 per week. I came home and turned on my computer and "thankfully" found your website. Needless to say I was ecstatic when I saw that I could purchase my own unit at an affordable price. The lady I talked to was so helpful and so pleasant to deal with, so if you can find out who she was, please thank her for me.
I have been using my ultrasound device every day for almost three weeks now. Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. My feet have gone from unbearable pain to very tolerable and manageable pain after a full day of work. I can actually come home from work now and not have to crash in the first chair I get to. No longer do I have to crawl to the bathroom because my feet hurt too bad to step on. Gone are those days in only three short weeks, and I owe it all to my new ultrasound device. What a change it has already made in my life. Sure wish I would have found this two years ago.
Again, thank you for contacting me and caring. I have told many family and friends, including my Chiropractor about the product I purchased from your company and how it has been helping me, now I can go back and tell them all about the great customer care you express.
Keep up the great job and I know you will be there for me if ever the need arises. Rating: Judy McKean, USA I Can Now Walk And Run Pain Free I had Plantar Fasciitis a few years ago and it took months to get over it.
This time around I had been treating it with ice, NSAIDs, a night boot, etc. for about 4 weeks before I got the ultrasound and heat tools from the MendMeShop.
I was making little or no progress, and it was painful to walk. After two weeks of using the ultrasound and energy wrap I can now walk and run pain free. I have already referred several friends and relatives to MendMeShop. Rating: Tim Odell Oregon USA

What is Phonophoresis?
peppermint
Phonophoresis is the use of ultrasound to enhance the delivery
of topically applied drugs. Effectively, medicines contained within or under the ultrasound gel are pushed by the sound waves of the
ultrasound and driven deep below the skin. Phonophoretically administered medications can penetrate the body to a much deeper level
than those massaged by hand over the surface of the skin.
Only some medications can be delivered phonophoretically. The process is dependant on many, many factors. For example, the type of
drug and molecule size are critical. The drug molecule has to be just the right size to be picked up by the ultrasound waves and the
right size to pass through the body tissue. As well, the medicinal molecule can't react with the ultrasound gel. It must also be able
to survive the thermal and vibrational effects of the ultrasound. The delivery of medications via ultrasound is truly a science unto
its own.
 eucalyptus The duration of the treatment and the need to specifically adhere to a specific dose size is also a large consideration. Obviously,
the longer ultrasound is used over a topical phonophoretic drug, the more the medication is delivered and the deeper it goes.
Drugs that require precise dosing, like insulin for example, cannot be controlled accurately enough to be delivered via Phonophoresis.
Many natural analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs though are excellent candidates for phonophoretic application.
One of the greatest benefits to delivering medications via phonophoresis is that the medication can be delivered locally to a
desired area. Oral pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs are introduced to the entire body in equal amounts. Even if you only need
pain relief in your Achilles Tendonitis or an anti-inflammatory in your swollen bursa, with oral medications you end up drugging your entire
body - your brain, your heart, your lungs even if they might not need the drug. With phonophoresis, the part of the body that receives
the medication is the part of your body that needs it.
Where is Phonophoresis Typically Used?
 Where You Need It Phonophoresis is most commonly used by Physical Therapists and Chiropractors in the treatment of localized physical injuries.
As a very cutting edge technology, phonophoresis is currently being studied for the use of a vast array of medications.
Conditions Treated With Phonophoresis:
- post-injury conditions (dislocations, distortions of joints, inflammation of muscles, tendons, etc)
- pain in rheumatic diseases
- low-back pain of neurological origin (i.e. root pain, discopathies, sciatica)
- Bursitis and similar inflammatory ailments
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Foot/Toe Sprains/Achilles Sprains and Strains
- Ankle/shoulder/Calf/Neck Sprains and Strains
- Hip Sprains, Thigh Sprains/Strains
- Ligament Strains
- OsteoArthritis
- Post - Exercise Recovery (when the workout goes a bit too far)
- Plantar Fascitis
- Heel Spurs Pain and Swelling
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Shoulder Capulitis
- Supraspinatus / Infraspinatus
- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
- Tendonitis (acute or chronic)
- Achilles Tendonitis, Golfers Elbow,
- Tension Headaches
- Upper and Lower Back Strains
- Wrist/ Hand/Elbow/Shoulder Sprains and Strains
