Magnetic Molecular Energizing (MME) has been used effectively for Plantar Fasciitis.

MME treatment is considered investigational and is utilized under the direction and auspices of an Investigational Review Board (IRB). The IRB complies with FDA requirements for investigational therapy usage and results review. MME therapy is safe and non-invasive. In some cases, patients may experience some tingling, however, most experience no ill effects and can talk, sleep, read or watch TV.

Facts about Plantar Fasciitis

1. Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. Plantar fasciitis is caused by chronic tearing of the plantar fascia which is the support structure for the inner foot arch.
2. Marked pain in the heel upon walking after awakening in the morning is the most common symptom. After rest, the pain decreases but returns immediately after walking.
3. Plantar fasciitis is more common in middle aged women and young male runners. Obesity is present in 90% of affected women and 40% of affected men. All ages can be affected.

Treatment and Case Results Treatment with orthotics, stretching and medication is frequently successful. Surgery is frequently performed. Chronic plantar fasciitis that has not responded to conservative treatment or the patient who does not wish surgery or has not responded to surgery may want to be considered for MME.

A.S. is a 21 year old college tennis player. She complained of pain and swelling over the inner arch and heel associated with a tennis injury several months earlier. It was aggravated by pressure of walking, running and other physical activity. After 40 hours of MME magnet time she indicated 80% improvement. Improvement continued after MME was completed.

Although no absolute assurances can be given, there is good reason for optimism for benefit, in individuals who are accepted for treatment, after review and screening. MME appears to enhance and speed the healing of tissues at the cellular and molecular level.
