It means that the action was completed. For example, 我吃好了。It means I finished eating. The function is to show that the action was successful and reached the end.

Verbs like 做 and 治 on their own just mean an act. "好" is used to tell us the results of the act, meaning "successfully". 做 = do 治 = treat 做好 = do well 治好 = cure
