Dear MendMeShop, Oh My Gosh! I am sitting at my computer and have just put on my Inferno Wrap™ for the first time. Within 5 minutes, the sensation in my foot has become incredible. I don't hear a thing but I can feel the stimulation and increased blood circulation from the bottom to the top of my foot, from heel to toe. The increased circulation seems to extend all the way up my leg into my upper leg muscles.
This thing is incredible! Rating:  Scott West Dear MendMeShop, I have been using the inferno wrap for about 3 weeks now and the results are outstanding. I could feel relief after the first use of the inferno wrap.
About 2 years ago the doctor told me I had plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. The heel of my feet hurt so badly, I could hardly walk. Getting out of bed in the mornings was pain beyond belief. I would hold on to the bed railings to take a step.
After going to the doctors and getting cortizone injections, ordering custom made insoles, exercises, taping my arch, and therapy, my feet were still hurting. I stopped the doctor visits for lack of relief. I was paying out so much money with no results. Not knowing what else to do, I prayed and asked God to show me what I could do to get releif.
I came across the mend me website and read the entire article on foot problems and the products. What it said made so much sense to me. I felt it would be the right thing for me.
I love the way it talks about the body and explain how it should work. What really drew me the most and encouraged me to order was: the site said your body was designed to heal itself.
I am a firm believer in organic healing and avoiding medication and surgery whenever possible. When I read about the blood flow I was sold on the product. I know that blood is the life of the body. When I wear the inferno wrap I don't want to take it off. It gives relief and warmth right where it hurts. I will be ordering other products for the feet as well.
Thanks for the information you give on each part of the body. I have referred your website to several people for different ailments.

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.
Dear MendMeShop, I am using the ultrasound mostly 3 times a day. I occasionally can only get in 2 times a day due to the traveling at present. I think I have had good results, it has helped a constant pain go away, unfortunately I continue to have occassions where I move a certain way and my shoulder is in pain. This causes a set back. At present these pain times are less severe and I'm having fewer of these occurances. I rest my arm as much as possible. I bought an AC adapter for use in the car while on the road.
All the walking I've done over the past 6 days has caused a knot to reappear in the arch of my foot from a previous injury to a tendon sheath. I've used the ultrasound on it and it helps it go down and has greatly eased the pain, since I'm still needing to walk.
The ultrasound has been a blessing for me and I'm sure will continue to do so. Rating: Vonda Clerke Dear MendMeShop, Thank you so much. I use the Planter/Spur Inferno wrap just about every evening. The MendMeShop has great products which I am always telling someone about. I hope the company realizes the excellent employee they have and how prompt, and pleasant you have been to assist me with getting the right item to my home. I just can’t thank you enough. Rating: L.

Diagnosing Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis accounts for 11 - 15% of all foot symptoms requiring professional care. Normally your doctor will take your medical history to find out more about your past and current condition, and your symptoms. It is important to provide him/her with as much information as possible.
He/she will give you a physical examination and check your foot and toe for any tenderness, inflammation, discoloration or unusual sensations. He/she will test your foot and lower leg muscles and nerves for reflexes, strength and flexibility. Normally with plantar fasciitis you will have pain when standing on your toes, a thick plantar fascia and reduced ankle dorsiflexion (ability to point your toes and foot upward) as a result of a tight achilles tendon.
Your gait (the way you walk) will also be evaluated to determine your bone alignment when you walk. Your doctor may check the soles of your shoes to see if you have excessive wear on one side. If the inside edge of your sole is more worn, you overpronate. If the outside edge of your sole is more worn, you underpronate. If there is no wearing on your sole, you have a balanced stride.
Occasionally X-rays, MRIs or blood tests might be requested to rule out other conditions or diseases (bone spurs, stress fractures, nerve compression, collagen disorders, tumors, rheumatoid arthritis) If unsure of the root cause of your deformity, blood tests might be requested to rule out diseases or infections.
