Is PlantarCure proven to cure plantar fasciitis?

PlantarCure has been proven in clinical trials to help alleviate the pain of plantar fascia damage. In the most recent study 98% of the patients surveyed experienced relief of pain from the condition, 85% reported increased healing of their plantar fasciia.

Is PlantarCure guaranteed to remove all pain in my foot?

No. The level of pain relief varies between patients and can range from complete removal of all pain for some to a reduction in pain in others. As with all healthcare devices its effectiveness is dependent on the patient and can vary. Foot flexion, a common measure of the severity of plantar fasciitis, almost always increases with regular use.

What do I do if it doesn't work for me?

Simple, every order comes with a pre-addressed label for returns so you can easily post it to us for a refund. We operate a 14 day money back guarantee for UK orders.

Will PlantarCure help me if my plantar fasciitis is serious?

In the most recent survey of 100 patients, the selection procedure chose the most serious cases. Many patients had previously had injections, physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory drugs and bracing before being referred for the study. No participants in the survey had mild symptoms. 98% had pain relief using PlantarCure.

How does Plantarcure compare with TENS
