Empowering you to build a strong foundation of health and healing through carefully created and curated products and content to help you enjoy and engage life to the fullest.
Why Did We Start Cure✻ated?
We’ve heard from patients, friends, and family that they don’t have time to research products, get to a doctor, not to mention take time off work.
Our products have been carefully curated by doctors and physical therapists. We seek to share the knowledge we have gleaned during our more than 60 years of combined experience treating patients to save you time and money and to kick start your healing journey so you can more quickly heal at home or on the go.
- Providing a foundation of health and healing through curated products and content to help you
Foot pain is one of the most common issues we treat; this Kit leverages our experience, the experience of other podiatrists, and of physical therapists to provide you with the highest quality combination of products and practices to effectively treat your foot pain. While many of the foot pain products on the market are poor quality, not vetted by podiatrists and physical therapists, nor holistic in their approach to treating foot pain, our Kit has been thoroughly vetted by our team with decades of combined experience in what actually works to treat foot pain. Our goal is to provide the most value, benefit, and comprehensive healing for your foot pain that can be accessed with the click of a button and shipped while you continue your work and activities.
Still having pain?
While foot pain is highly treatable – the vast majority of patients will see significant improvement and pain alleviation with no surgery required.
If you are still having pain after four weeks of using the Kit products and regularly doing the physical therapy exercises it’s time to see a podiatrist. A podiatrist specializes in treating the foot and ankle. Podiatrists undergo specialized and extensive training to diagnose and treat issues with the foot and ankle. They are called podiatric physicians or foot and ankle surgeons.
A podiatrist will diagnose foot pain using multiple tests:
- They will ask you about your medical history
- Conduct a physical examination of your foot and ankle
- A podiatrist may order diagnostic imaging studies for more information
Heel spurs are sometimes found in those who have heel pain from a biomechanical cause
(the pain caused as a direct result of how your body (bio) moves (mechanics)) or systemic arthritic causes, but heel spurs are rarely a cause of pain.
When heel spurs are present it is typically an indicator of a probable cause.
