Scientific Study Results for Heel-Right
A scientific study measuring the effectiveness of Heel-Right for the treatment of heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis / heel spurs. This study was administered by Dr. Kerry Johnson, developer of Heel-Right. Subjects were first screened for an accurate diagnosis of plantar fasciitis / heel spurs. Dr. Johnson tested two groups: Ten consecutive subjects who were current or previous patients at his clinic - and six consecutive subjects who had never met Dr. Johnson prior to the study. This was done to remove any bias or loyalty toward the examiner.
The McGill Pain Questionnaire - Short Form (MPQ-SF), a widely used and well known pain report measure was utilized in the study. Subjects were instructed on the proper completion of the MPQ-SF and were asked to complete the form on their first visit. They were then fitted with the support, instructed on its use and asked to return in one week for a recheck and then again in three weeks. At the three week visit they were asked to complete the MPQ-SF a second time. The results of the study are as follows:
% Improvement of Consecutive Subjects that were Previous Patients - 75%
% Improvement of Consecutive Subjects that were not Previous Patients - 77.5%
The results of this study demonstrate that Heel-Right is a very effective treatment option for those who suffer with plantar fasciitis / heel spurs. The fact that non-patients rated the effectiveness higher than patients of Dr. Johnson's clinic, helps to remove any bias or loyalty towards the examiner.
Considering that roughly half of the estimated 40 million sufferers of plantar fasciitis / heel spurs have had their problem for more than one year, the results of this study would indicate that Heel-Right is a very attractive solution.
