In reply to Kathleen Looby. I got mine on Amazon for a bit less than $30. There are tons of different kinds out there so do your research in what you're looking for & of course, product review. I love having this handy for those late night aches that keep me awake.

Is this similar to the electrode treatments I’m getting from my physical therapist? I have a ripped plantar fascia along with 3 spurs on each heal and the hellacious pain that goes with it. I’ve worn the air cast boot for 8 weeks, had the steroid injections, taken duexis for 3 months, as well as done the stretch exercises. My physical therapist has been treating my pain and inflammation with ultrasound and electrode therapy for 2 weeks, but nothing is helping.

In reply to Florence. Hi Florence, a lot of people do experience pain relief from this method for heel spurs and related pain. You can get a portable TENS unit on Amazon or at your local drugstore.

In reply to Sharlene. I’d go to a podiatrist. You have to stretch your calf muscles a lot in addition to the PF stretches. Google calf stretch exercises. The one where you stand against a wall and put your noninjired foot in front and injured behind, keeping injured/back leg straight while leaning forward works best for me. Several times a day. Your podiatrist will prob give you this boot thing that you can use to do actual PF stretches. There are also stretches you can do with a resistance band which I’m currently doing in physical therapy but it’s trickier than the boot. Also ice it every night. Don’t be stupid like me and let it build for 3 years and need surgery.

Hi. Do you have any info on the placements of the electrode pads. My unit has pads that are approx 50mm discs. Or would it be better to get smaller pads
