Hello group...if someone on here has used spiky balls, I'm wondering if you were successful and if so do you continue to use them for preventing plantar fasciitis ?

Dee Fabrizius What worked for me were Hoka recovery slides and Hoka Bondi 7 sneakers. I suffered for 8 months with plantar fasciitis and it is completely gone. I tried everything including the spikey balls and realized proper footwear was key after all my plantars fasciitis treatments.

Comment Mary Lynn Schmidt You may benefit from a cushion between your foot and your shoes...you may need an orthodic for any correction needed in your small bones or arch. Good luck!

I have been suffering from that from a sciatic pinched nerve for 4 years. So far no relief from doctors. Only Hucksters and Chiropractors waiting to take your money. Medicare will pay nothing!

Mary Lynn Schmidt cushioning in your shoes...orthodics...wide toe box...Good Luck. If it's inflammed you need to reduce the inflammation.
