• removing the pressure application pad from the foot of the individual;
• applying direct pressure to the abductor hallucis and flexor halluces brevis muscles of the foot of the individual for about five additional minutes without using the pressure application pad;
• and
• periodically reapplying and securing the pressure application pad to the foot of the individual whenever symptoms reappear or until symptoms subside;
• the treatment of specific diseases, conditions, and illnesses including the treatment of at least one of Anxiety Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Augmentation and Rebound from Dopamine Agonist therapy, Back Pain and Chronic Back Pain, Dementia, Depression, Dyskinesia, Dystonia, Fibromyalgia, Inherited Neuropsychiatric Disorder, Mental Depressive Disorder, Metatarsalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscle Cramp Disorder, Muscular Dystrophy, Nocturnal Foot and Leg Cramps, Neuroma, Morton's Neuroma, Plantar Neuroma, Traumatic Neuroma, Parkinson's Disease, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, Peripheral Nerve Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Radiculopathy, Sacroiliac Pain, and Tourette Syndrome.

• applying pressure with the pressure application pad to at least one foot of the individual for repeated, predetermined intervals during a period of about four to eight days;
• refraining from applying pressure with the pressure application pad to either foot of the individual for a period of about two weeks;
• and
• evaluating the prevalence of symptoms;
• the treatment of specific diseases, conditions, and illnesses including the treatment of at least one of Anxiety Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Augmentation and Rebound from Dopamine Agonist Therapy, Back Pain and Chronic Back pain, Dementia, Depression, Dyskinesia, Dystonia, fibromyalgia, Inherited Neuropsychiatric Disorder, Mental Depressive Disorder, Metatarsalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscle Cramp Disorder, Muscular Dystrophy, Nocturnal Foot and Leg Cramps, Neuroma, Morton's Neuroma, Plantar Neuroma, Traumatic Neuroma, Parkinson's Disease, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, Peripheral Nerve Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Radiculopathy, Sacroiliac Pain, and Tourette Syndrome.

A method for effecting neuromuscular mechanisms for treatment of specific non-restless leg syndrome, non-restless arms, and non-foot and leg cramps diseases, conditions, and illnesses, the method comprising:

• applying pressure with a shoe insert to specific areas of a foot of an individual, the shoe insert having a pressure application pad for providing selective and adjustable pressure to a sole of the foot, the insole having an upper surface and being positionable within a shoe, the pressure application pad being positioned on the upper surface of the insole, the pressure application pad having a base portion and an upraised portion disposed on the base portion, the upraised portion having a leg and a crosspiece, the leg extending transversely along the sole of the foot when the foot is inserted in the shoe, the crosspiece extending about perpendicularly from an end of the leg to extend along the inner side of the foot when the foot is inserted in the shoe, the leg being positioned to abut and primarily apply pressure directed to the flexor hallucis brevis muscle at the bottom of the foot, the crosspiece being positioned to abut and primarily apply pressure directed to the abductor hallucis muscle, and the crosspiece being positioned to apply pressure primarily to the inner side of the foot;
• applying pressure with the shoe insert to at least one foot of the individual for repeated, predetermined intervals during a period of about four to eight days;
• refraining from applying pressure with the shoe insert to either foot or the individual for a period of about two weeks;
• and
• evaluating the prevalence of symptoms:
• the treatment of specific diseases, conditions, and illnesses including the treatment of at least one of Anxiety Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Augmentation and Rebound from Dopamine Agonist Therapy, Back Pain and Chronic Back Pain, Dementia, Depression, Dyskinesia, Dystonia, Fibromyalgia, Inherited Neuropsychiatric Disorder, Mental Depressive Disorder, Metatarsalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscle Cramp Disorder, Muscular Dystrophy, Nocturnal Foot and Leg Cramps, Neuroma, Morton's Neuroma, Plantar Neuroma, Traumatic Neuroma, Parkinson's Disease, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, Peripheral Nerve Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Radiculopathy, Sacroiliac Pain, and Tourette Syndrome.

A method for effecting neuromuscular mechanisms for treatment of specific non-restless leg syndrome, non-restless arms, and non-foot and leg cramps diseases, conditions, and illnesses, the method comprising:

• applying pressure with a pressure application pad to specific areas of a foot of an individual, the pressure application pad having an upraised portion having a leg and crosspiece, and providing a wrapping member for encasing the pressure application pad, the wrapping member also having multiple adjustable straps for securing the wrapping member and the pressure application pad, placing and securing the pressure application pad on the foot of an individual with the wrapping member, the leg of the pressure application pad being positioned to abut and primarily apply pressure directed to the flexor hallucis brevis muscle primarily at the bottom of the foot, the crosspiece of the pressure application pad being positioned to abut and primarily apply pressure directed to the abductor hallucis muscle primarily at the inner side of the foot, and adjusting the multiple adjustable straps to selected magnitudes of tightness to adjustably vary the pressure exerted by the leg against the flexor hallucis brevis muscle and by the crosspiece against the abductor hallucis muscle;
• applying pressure with the pressure application pad to both feet of the individual;
• keeping the individual non-ambulatory only when symptoms occur:
• removing the pressure application pad promptly upon the subsidence of symptoms;
• and
• applying pressure to both feet of the individual with the pressure application pad during all sleeping hours regardless of symptoms;
