Plantar Fasciitis is the most common foot problem affecting Americans. It can be caused by poor footwear, weight gain, lack of arch support, or continuous walking on hard surfaces. Plantar Fasciitis is a serious, painful, and progressing illness that
occurs when the long, flat ligament along the bottom of the foot
develops tears and inflammation. Thus, it must be approached as an injury:
First, you need to Sooth the pain: A Swedo night splint helps to keep the ligament warm and flexible to avoid sharp morning pain that occurs because the ligament is cold.
Second, you need to Support the injury: Arch Supports, Orthotics, and Heel seats all work to support your heel and arch so that the Fascia is not overworked.
Third, you need to Strengthen and Heal. The Cryosphere is a durable Hot/Cold foot massager that helps bring immediate pain relief, while prompting blood flow to the area to heal your pain faster. Also, routine usage helps strengthen the bottom of the foot to prevent future pain.

I love the football shaped massager. I keep it under my desk and just roll my foot over it while on my computer. The nighttime splint just didn't work for me. It felt like I had a too small shoe on. The arch supports actually worked better for me at night. My podiatrist said all the items were fine and could all work well. l
I can't tell if these produts are helpful or not

I bought this group of products in my concern over my plantar faciitis symptoms which had recently arisen. I wanted to do all I could about them.
I took these products to my foot specialist, and he gave me good reasons why he doesn't recommend such items for his patients with my condition.
So that lack of a ringing endorsement has cooled my enthusiasm for these products somewhat, but I use them anyway.

This group of products helped greatly with my foot pain. The company was very helpful too. I feel for anyone that suffers foot pain from plantar fasciitis.
