My Miracle Cure For Plantar Fasciitis

My Miracle

Last week when I went to visit Dr. Howell, we talked for quite a while about my foot that just continues to hurt. I have tried everything that has been suggested to me to help heal my foot. I have bought pair after pair after pair of shoes and boots, trying to get one pair that would be THE one that would help. I have bought several different types of insoles and inserts, even some that cost $39 a pair.I have taken prescription pain medication and Alleve almost daily. Alleve during the day, Rx at night.

I have tried the stand on the edge of a book exercies. I have tried the pick up a towel with your toes exercises. I have tried the making circles with your foot in the air exercises. I keep a tennis ball under my seat at my desk and roll my foot around on it often during the day. I even bought a brace to wear to bed at night to keep my foot bent, and that helped some.

When taped correctly, it supports your arches!

But, Dr. Howell and I talked about taping my foot. I thought it sounded like a bunch of hooey when I read about it online, but Dr. Howell said, yes, (enthusiastically) that taping would definitely help. So, I went to the pharmacy and bought some tape. Plain old tape like you use to tape up a wound. Like they use to wrap ankles for playing soccer. And guess what! My foot hasn’t hurt for two whole days! It is like a miracle! I can actually walk around without pain!

So, because some of my friends have asked, here is a link to the website that Dr. Howell printed off the taping instructions for me: How to tape your foot for relief of plantar fasciitis.

And here is what my foot looks like taped:

This looks weird but works great to releive pain of plantar fasciitis

The tape it thin, and even though you use four pieces of it, you can still wear your socks and shoes. I am so happy to have found something that works to relieve the pain of my plantar fasciitis!

      That is awesome. As a fellow sufferer I could have used that years ago. I too am plantar fasciitis free after having flare ups for years on a regular basis. Now I stand on my FLEX-N-GO Board a few minutes twice a day and not only am I pain free, but my posture is much improved and the best bonus of all! I have been able to take off over 48 lbs, because I can take part in an active life style again! Best of Luck! Kelly

    Plantar Fasciitis is so painful, glad you found something that helps. I’ve never seen this before, I will have to try it the next time my plantar fasciitis flares up.

    My husband suffers so many foot problems and he’s being treated for something like this (not the same thing, I asked him) and he’s doing better with some orthotics. I feel so bad for him!

    I’m so glad you found something that makes it a little less painful for you AND it’s not expensive! Nothing like a good ‘ol simple remedy versus crazy surgeries and o.d. on pharmaceutical drugs.
