According to medical professionals, plantar fasciitis is the most common reason for heel pain. Defined as severe pain in heel, as well as in the bottom of the foot, this condition is very common among individuals who are overweight or those that run or jog regularly. Because of the strain put on the plantar fascia, it becomes inflamed and swollen, damaging the ligament, making it hard to walk. Often found in individuals who are on their feet for long hours, plantar fasciitis can affect either one or both foot. Easily treated by wearing supportive footwear and limiting exercise, the problem can often be severe, and if not treated early, it can cause irreversible damage.
One of the most popular and effective treatments for plantar fasciitis is Heelease. An easy to use device, Heelease provides users with a solution to treat pain in just a few hours or days, based on the severity of the symptoms. Supported by extensive clinical data, the Heelease has been reported to heal the tendon and alleviate foot pain. Because of its fast healing properties, it is rapidly becoming the most sought after treatment for plantar fasciitis.
About Heelease
Up until recently, the only available treatments for plantar fasciitis were anti-inflammatory medications, bracing and strapping, steroid injections, physical therapy, ESWT shockwave machines, or surgical intervention. These methods were either extremely expensive, painful, or ineffective, or all three.
Unlike these treatments, Heelease is a scientifically proven, painless, and inexpensive treatment method that uses shockwave therapy to treat plantar fasciitis.
A light, portable device, the Heelease is safe to use at any time. Convenient to travel with, most users use the device in the morning before they start the day. Because the morning is the time in which most discomfort is experienced, it is recommended that it be used while lying in bed.
In addition to treating plantar fasciitis, the Heelease manufactures variations of the device that can be used to treat other conditions such as tennis elbow and patella tendonitis.
Because most people that suffer from plantar fasciitis are utilizing a variety of treatments, Heelease is safe to use and combine with other treatments. It does not cause any adverse side effects and will not prevent the effectiveness of other treatments.
How Heelease Works
As mentioned above, plantar fasciitis is categorized by extreme foot pain that occurs at the base of the heel. As the fibers that run from the toes to the heel become damaged, stiffness and pain is the following consequences. The Heelease device produces a high-frequency vibration that is able to administer shockwaves directly to the tendon, through the skin. Because the pain is transmitted as impusles found in the sensory fibers of the body, when a specific frequency is applied to an area experiencing pain, it communicates with the pain impulse transmissions, disrupting the signal.
As the shockwave scrambles the communication in the sensory impulses, they are no longer recognized and interpreted as pain signals by the brain. This specific treatment stimulates the formulation of new blood vessels, increasing blood supply found in the tendon and, as well as joints and muscles in the area, speeding up recovery.
To use the Heelease device, users should first remove the battery insulation tab in order to replace the battery cap. Once the battery cap has been firmly applied, the on/off button will activate the device. One activated, the unit should then be secured to the end of the Velcro strap. Once secured to the strap, the Velcro can then be wrapped around the foot. The vibration nozzle should be situated at the base of the heel, directly on the point of pain. As the Heelease begins to work, users should raise the foot and rest it for the duration of the treatment.
For the best results, users should use the Heelease device on a daily basis for up to six weeks. For most, they will experience a relief of pain and increase in flexibility within the first couple of treatments.
Purchasing Heelease
The Heelease device is available for purchase on the company website and can also be found in local pharmacies. Offering worldwide shipping, the price for Heelease on the company website is listed as $39.99, those this price may vary at other retail locations.
