Heel Pain Relief



Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the thick tissue on the bottom of the foot. This tissue is called the plantar fascia. It connects the heel bone to the toes and creates the arch of the foot.

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot is overstretched or overused. This can be painful and make walking more difficult.



The most common complaint is pain and stiffness in the bottom of the heel. The heel pain may be dull or sharp. The bottom of the foot may also ache or burn.


One way to help alleviate this pain is by using Biofreeze. Biofreeze Pain Reliever is the brand most trusted and recommended by healthcare professionals. It breaks the cycle of pain with Cryotherapy, The Cold Method®. Its cold application reduces the sensation of pain and inflammation, while the cold and re-warming stimulates the healing of tissue.


BIOFREEZE is made with ILEX, a South American herbal extract, which has been used by the Paraguay Indians to enhance the effects of their medicines for centuries. The ILEX works to extend the properties of the three analgesics (pain relievers) contained in Biofreeze. The result is long lasting, deep penetrating pain relief. Biofreeze Roll-on and Biofreeze Gel can also help to relieve pain caused by arthritis.
