Custom foot inserts will be designed for you by a Chiropodist, and will support all the structures of your foot and re-align the entire body. Orthotic therapy is the long-term treatment plan for most patients. Therapeutic modalities such as ultrasound, and laser therapy have been effective in short term management plans. Changing footwear is essential, as a poor fitting shoe can encourage plantar fasciitis to occur again, or get worse. The combination of these therapies will help break up scar tissue decrease inflammation and let the foot begin to heal. The most conservative treatments are icing, stretching, exercises and anti-inflammatory medication prescribed by your Chiropodist (foot specialist). Treatments: There are many treatments for plantar fasciitis. Wearing inappropriate shoes or very ridged shoes can cause your foot to be functioning differently, therefore putting excessive strain on the bottom of the foot. Very high arches can cause strain on the band as it is over working. Flat feet can over stretch the band, as the arch is collapsing and causing strain on the band. This is due to the fact that the body is attempting to heal the micro tearing that has occurred and when a person stands back up the damage occurs again- which can be very painful.Ĭause: There are many things that may cause plantar fasciitis. Sitting for long periods of time, and then standing up again can cause extreme pain as well. Symptoms: Usually people will experience severe morning pain the first few steps out of bed are excruciating and will slowly get better during the morning hours. When this band of plantar fascia is stress or over worked we can experience discomfort along the bottom of the foot due to micro tearing of this fascia. It helps keep all the bones in your foot aligned and stacked on top of each other to create the stable arch on the inside of the foot (medial longitudinal arch) and a ridged leaver for efficient toe-off when walking/ running. This band is very important in the support structure of everyone’s foot. The plantar fascia is a superficial band that runs from your heel bone (calcaneus) and extends out to attach to the bones at the ball of the foot (metatarsal phalangeal joints). What is it: Plantar Fasciitis is a very common foot problem that can cause mild to severe pain in a persons’ heel, arch or ball of one or both feet.
