Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 58 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers found the product to be very handy and effective for pain relief, often experiencing immediate or rapid improvement in their conditions. Many people were initially skeptical but were pleasantly surprised by the significant difference the device made, recommending it to others for its usefulness. Reviewers also appreciated the ease of use and the various modes available, contributing to a positive user experience and sustained relief. However, some customers also noted issues with the product's quality and durability, with devices stopping working after a short period. A few other people also felt that the charging mechanism was temperamental and poorly designed, making it difficult to ensure the device was properly charged. Conversely, a small portion of people felt the product did not provide any pain relief or improvement, considering it a waste of money.

Excellent customer service, I really found this helpful after wasting money on expensive laser treatment. It's very handy to use at home when you need it. I like that you can also use the pad where yo... See more

I decided to purchase a Plantarcure product, due to a very painful heel, which my podiatrist advised was plantar fasciitis. I was given some exercises which were only helping very slowly. I still cou... See more

Sceptical at first, but after using a foot roller, shoe footbeds, handheld massager, I eventually saw the adverts on FB and thought why not. The price was definitely right. It came already charged. Wa... See more

About Plantarcure

Written by the company

Get plantar fasciitis pain relief and heel pain treatment with PlantarCure. Simple, painless and easy to use.

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of foot pain, characterised by pain at the base of the heel. The plantar fasciia is a thick bundle of fibres running from the toes to the heel. When damage is caused to these fibres, you can experience pain and stiffness at the base of the heel.

The PlantarCure device generates high-frequency waves which passes through the skin to the damaged fibres. Pain is transmitted as impulses in the large sensory fibres of the body and by applying a certain frequency to the area of pain, it interacts with the pain impulse transmissions, causing disruption. The pulse is effectively ‘scrambling’ the sensory impulses to the extent that they cannot be interpreted as pain signals by the brain.

In addition to the pain relieving effects of the device, the stimulation causes an increase in blood flow to the plantar fasciia which induces androgenesis in the tissues to speed up the healing process.

This is a treatment modality approved for many conditions by NICE, the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence.

Super product offering great relief

Fast delivery. Easy to use. Having suffered with Plantar Fasciitis off and on on for years, I was happy to try anything that would potentially give me relief. Along side stretching, steroid injection and ice, I have found this device to be helpful especially on days of increased pain.

The agony of plantar fasciitis

I suddenly developed plantar fasciitis in both feet. It was agony. I was hobbling everywhere. I saw a physio to confirm it was plantar fasciitis and was offered shock treatment for £360 (6 sessions) a friend mentioned plantarcure and honestly I haven’t looked back. It’s made a tremendous difference to my pain. I almost feel like it’s completely gone. I couldn’t recommend this product enough! Best £40 I’ve ever spent!!

I had PF in both feet

I had PF in both feet, left cured after physio (step calf raises with toes curled over a rolled towel). Right foot stubborn, noticeable flatter arch. The device has been used daily for 3 months and it initially temporarily relieved the pain but didn't actually resolve the problem but for the money it was worth rolling the dice, but it didn't work for me. I will have to get proper shockwave therapy privately. Friends recommended it and also to avoid steroid injections as the hurt more than the PF. Good luck it's not fun !

I really hoped this would work

I really hoped this would work , I’ve tried it for over 3 months now and unfortunately it never seems to make any difference to me at all . Think I’m going to ask the GP for proper shock wave therapy instead as the plantar pain is so annoying and debilitating

Good device

I have been using this device once per day for 1 week and I definitely can see a difference. Pain is not as acute as before and I can wear all my shoes without a concern.
I would recommend this device!

Great little device

Not much to say except that I was experiencing a lot of discomfort, and shortly after using this device felt 100% better. 😊

Would buy again

I’ve been using this device several times every day since receiving it about 3 weeks ago. I don’t just use it the recommended 3 times daily x 10 minutes, rather I will use it for 20 or 30 minutes several times a day. It’s certainly helped to ease the pain that the plantar fasciitis causes (I have had the plantar for about two months now). Am still doing the recommended foot stretches, using heel orthotic, etc., and still unable to wear the shoes I would normally wear. I’m sceptical that the Plantarcure will actually cure it, but I do feel it’s eased the pain.

There is not much instruction on how to use it so been months with it and not much improvement. It has 6 modalities of vibration is difficult to know which one to use. The brand won’t answer when you send them an email. At the moment money wasted

The product arrived quickly

The product arrived quickly, the instructions were not very clear but my husband spoke to someone who was really helpful and resolved our questions. The product has had a positive affect on my husbands Planta and on my Achilles. It is easy to use, more so on the Planta just purely due to the position of the Achilles.

Great product.

Whilst this has not cured the problem completely it has greatly helped. The delivery time was great, within twenty-four hours, instructions clear and concise. It is easy and quick to charge and certainly does what it's meant to do. In my case this means greatly reduced pain and discomfort. Thank you
