What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar Fasciitis is a common foot condition characterized by inflammation and pain in the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes. The plantar fascia plays a crucial role in supporting the foot’s arch and absorbing shock during walking and other weight-bearing activities. When the fascia becomes inflamed and irritated due to factors like overuse, excessive standing, improper footwear, or biomechanical issues, it can lead to pain, tenderness, and stiffness at the bottom of the heel. The pain is often most pronounced in the morning or after periods of rest. Effective treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and addressing contributing factors to facilitate healing.
How Do We Treat Plantar Fasciitis?
The treatment of Plantar Fasciitis aims to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, promote healing, and address underlying contributing factors. Here’s an overview of the treatment strategies:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Our experienced medical team uses advanced diagnostics to confirm Plantar Fasciitis and assess the extent of inflammation and tissue damage.
- Rest and Foot Elevation: Resting the affected foot and elevating it can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
- Ice: Applying ice to the affected area can help reduce swelling and provide temporary pain relief. Ice should be used with a cloth barrier to prevent skin damage.
- Orthotic Devices: Custom-made orthotic inserts can provide proper arch support and cushioning, reducing strain on the plantar fascia.
- Footwear: Wearing supportive shoes with proper arch support and cushioning can alleviate pressure on the plantar fascia and prevent exacerbation.
- Stretching Exercises: Gentle calf and plantar fascia stretches can improve flexibility, reduce tension, and promote healing.
- Night Splints: Wearing night splints can help maintain proper foot alignment and alleviate morning heel pain by gently stretching the plantar fascia.
- Physical Therapy: Working with skilled physical therapists, patients engage in exercises that strengthen foot muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance overall foot mechanics.
- Anti-Inflammatory Medications: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
- Corticosteroid Injections: In some cases, corticosteroid injections can provide targeted pain relief and reduce inflammation around the plantar fascia.
