Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Here's some of plantar fasciitis prevention tips from us:
 

• choose soft, loose shoes to wear, try to avoid high-heeled shoes too tight or too hard.
• You can gently massage foot to relieve the tension of the plantar fascia.
• Avoid prolonged walking or running.
• Do any exercise should be gradual, not arbitrarily sharp increase in physical activity, try to maintain proper weight.
• Time to do the training posterior leg muscles and plantar fascia sports: kneepad basically no treatment effect, a major role to remind you that a knee injury, do not make it worse.     
  

• Time to do the training thigh muscles:

1. Sitting on a chair, feet flat on the floor, knees bent, toes practice to catch a towel. This exercise can strengthen foot muscles.
2. Body standing, one foot forward step by step, your feet can not heel off the ground, the body center of gravity moved forward, the rear foot should be slightly pulled calf muscle feeling, to maintain this action for 10 seconds, repeat 10 to 15 times. This exercise can increase the softness of the heel tendon.

• Use personal corrective insoles arch: arch corrective insoles can reduce the pressure on the plantar fascia to help alleviate pain.
• If the pain does not disappear when sustained, should find a registered chiropractor style specialists for detailed diagnosis, and with chiropractors recommend aggressive treatment.

Whether young, middle-aged or elderly, often have foot pain problems. Why does it hurt foot? Most of the daily habits inflammation of the plantar fascia caused by improper relevant. Plantar fascia is a thick layer of soft and flexible film, covering the entire foot, heel and foot aim taut, the foot to form a bow (that is arch), a shock effect. Plantar fasciitis is overburdened because of the foot, plantar force errors and done, in the long term fatigue and inflammation of the fascia under strain, causing inflammation of the plantar fascia. Once the disease, the patient will have to bear a lot of pain, and feel unable to move.

Plantar Fasciitis Therapy

Chiropractic Physical therapy:

Using some of special treatments such as muscle electrotherapy and ultrasound devices, where there is increased blood circulation, reduce the degree of inflammation, relieve pain affected area role.

Exercise therapy:

Use some muscle for the treatment of foot movement, aimed at strengthening the protection of the foot muscles and increase flexibility of the foot muscles, reducing inflammation of the plantar fascia overlying fat chance.

Customized personal corrective arch insole:

Insole is designed in accordance with foot mechanics can increase the comfort of the foot to protect the heel, the heel when walking to reduce the pressure, thus avoiding the fascia due to involve and hurt, effectively reduce pain.

Receiving proper orthodontic treatment as soon as possible, often because the longer the delay the disease, the treatment time is also relatively more years.

Plantar Fasciitis Shoe For Women

Wearing the right shoes, and use the insoles help relieve the symptoms of plantar fasciitis. Many women because of work required to wear high heels, high heels, heel support position but the small size of the force point greatly reduced, so that the heel muscle tension. Long pull forefoot muscle and leg muscles, so there is pressure to the foot may cause fatigue, severe cases may suffer from plantar fasciitis, the proposed purchase has been cushioned heels, try to avoid wearing "bucket zero" heel , heel and durable material to the thicker the better, increase the contact area with the ground, reducing shake and reduce the pressure on the foot.

Followed by the plus padded transfer pressure Many people believe that the more flat soles of the feet healthy as possible, in fact, anti-wear flat shoes make the plantar fascia stretched, it may worsen their condition. It should not be too thin soles, the thickness of half an inch to one inch should be selected, such as supporting the arch of the foot within the shoe design is more appropriate, soles should not be too hard, should choose soft soles of the shoes, to increase its shock-absorbing capacity. Body of the shoe should not be too tight, because your feet will swell after a long walk, you should reserve space.



Use insoles for the treatment of plantar fasciitis are very helpful. Patients should be aware of their foot shape, matching appropriate insoles can reduce pain more effectively. If the patient is normal foot shape, can only wear heel cushions, some pressure will be transferred from the heel to the forefoot and reduce pain. If the patient is flatfoot who need to wear a arch supporting insoles to correct abnormal biomechanics of the foot to reduce plantar fascia stretch. If foot pain persists, recommended by the orthotist for more detailed foot examination, and if necessary, taking full mold, customized insoles to relieve the pain.

Plantar fasciitis is a common, persistent foot injury that requires proper treatment. Plantar fascitis results in acute inflammation and pain in the fibrous band of tissue across the bottom of the foot. Because the ligaments, tendons and tissue in the foot to move every time the foot is flexed, when they are inflamed, every movement hurts, which daily activities very painful. Once the plantar fascia tissue is injured, is difficult to 100% recovery and re-injury occurs frequently. But therapies such as ultrasound may hold the key to complete healing plantar fascia. And fortunately preceded ultrasound technologies and new, affordable and portable ultrasound devices are becoming available for the home user.

Causes - again.. :)

As the plantar fascia can only stretch without tearing 102% of its length, the stress of an extremely active lifestyle may be too much. This state of the foot participate primarily from overloading and overuse in jobs that require a person to his feet all day, such as teachers and waitresses to be caused heavy loads, such as shippers and construction workers push, and in strong sports such as running, dancing, football and basketball. Plantar fasciitis is one of the five most common foot and ankle injuries in professional athletes.
Poor biomechanics, foot muscle and / or bands imbalances and faulty foot structures may also contribute to the development of plantar fasciitis. Other causes are obesity and poorly supported shoes.
The inflammation in the plantar arch through suffering experienced can lead to an intense stabbing pain in the heel and finally, heel spurs. For this reason it is important to properly treat inflamed plantar fascia at the beginning of the disease with ultrasound therapy or another modality.

Treatments

The intense flare of pain associated with plantar fasciitis in the arch of the foot, can be best managed through conservative, regular treatments. Patient education on how plantar fasciitis treatment and self-care are important components in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. Patience is also the key to how an inflamed plantar fascia can to a year to fully recover six months.
By modifying daily activities and exercise wear matching shoes, taping the feet, and massaging the arch, the acute inflammation of the plantar fasciitis can be minimized. After strenuous activities Rice is (rest, ice, compression, increase) suffer the prescribed procedure for plantar fasciitis usually. However, for 100% injury recovery with therapeutic ultrasound before RICE treatment is best, because the ultrasonic waves efficiently reduce inflammation and experience pain or chronic plantar fasciitis diagnosed within the first 48 hours after a flare-up. Daily ultrasound Physical therapy can be a very effective way to manage and heal plantar fasciitis and heel spurs and is best performed with a personal, therapeutic ultrasound device.
For those who are suffering from chronic plantar fasciitis, foot and tendon rehabilitation at home is now possible with the advent of portable ultrasound equipment. The ultrasound therapy with these devices can be used as an advanced treatment of heel spurs and chronic tendon pain that the condition be accompanied. Therapeutic ultrasound can be used to relieve pain and ankle injuries twice as fast to heal foot and.

Ultra-sound waves create a gentle deep tissue heating to cure the pain and inflammation by penetrating the skin and cause vibrations in the tendons and soft tissues of the foot speed decreases. Ultrasound therapy relaxes muscles and reduces swelling. Due to the increase of blood flow and oxygen to tendons and ligaments Ultrasound deep tissue massage stimulation can be used as a pain therapy to plantar fasciitis flare control and can now be used in the comfort of your own home.
A home ultrasound machine works the same way as larger machines found in physiotherapist and chiropractor practice, but is more compact and reasonably so home users can afford to buy cheap. Portable ultrasound machines are also safe for use by the general public because they pulsed to use, if used instead of continuous, ultrasound waves, which are just as effective on a daily basis. Plantar fasciitis physical therapy with ultrasound will provide users with immediate relief and permanent cure offer a 3-4 weeks.
Since plantar fascistic includes soft tissue and tendon inflammation, is a type of home ultrasound device for the treatment is necessary. A home ultrasound physical therapy machine should emit 1Mhz ultrasound waves. It is also important to have an FDA-approved ultrasound unit that is quality manufactured buy. The portable therapeutic ultrasound device should also be covered with at least a 1 year warranty. And best of all, with a portable therapeutic ultrasound device, you can treat your plantar fasciitis daily when it is most convenient for you.

Due to the occurrence of plantar fasciitis will lead to heel tendon (ie, calf muscles, tibialis posterior) shortened, increasing the pulling force on the plantar fascia, the plantar fasciitis inflammation worse. Therefore, in exercise therapy, the recommendations may be more at home on weekdays patients can return to practice some of the plantar fascia tendon and heel muscle flexibility and even strengthen the movement. 

1. Push Wall

Standing off your shoes, the patient to about 45 degrees against the wall, in the limb, the heel off the ground is not available to the body weight of oppression suffered leg up somewhat the degree of pain until for 15 seconds then rest for 5 seconds, repeat 30 times a day do 3 to 4 times, so as to increase the plantar fascia tendon softness and foot, making it less susceptible to injuries. 

2. ladder operator approach 

Hand railings, two foot of the stairs, but only half so that the heels stepped down, to the body under pressure, enabling extended to foot and leg. Both sports can increase the plantar fascia tendon and heel muscle softness 

3 toe muscle movement within (intrinsic toe exercise)

Both exercise can strengthen muscles and plantar fascia inner toes.

1. sits in a chair, feet flat on a towel, use force to make your toes bent towel, for 15 seconds then rest for 5 seconds, repeat 30 times, three to four times a day to do.
2. sitting in a chair, feet flat on the pile of marbles, use your toes to pick up marbles. Each picked 80 marbles, one day to do 3 to 4 back.

In addition, it was also used night stand (nocturnal bracing), to make all night remained at the plantar fascia stretched state, but the effect is varies. 

A common cause of plantar fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is the Latin inflammation of the plantar fascia. This inflammation occurs where the fascia attaches to the heel bone (also known as the heel bone).
So what causes the plantar fascia to become inflamed? There are a number of different reasons for this to occur. For example, you are more likely to develop plantar fasciitis, if you are over 50, if you are overweight, or pregnant, or if you have a job that requires a lot of walking or standing on hard surfaces. You are also at risk if you do a lot of walking or running for exercise (repetitive trauma). And if you have tight calf muscles (which many people have) you are also more likely to develop plantar fasciitis.
Research has shown, however, that the number 1. cause of plantar fasciitis is over-pronation (or Fallen Arches).
Over pronation of the feet is very common, at least half of the population has this problem, but most people do not realize they have this condition! Over-pronation simply Means That the feet and ankles roll inwards too much walking and falling on That the arches collapse. With age, most people tend to over-pronation. However, this condition is not uncommon in children and adolescents, as well as athletes.
The arch collapses when the two points outside of the arc (being the heel and sole) are being located farther from each other. This puts repetitive stress on the plantar fascia. Fixing the molding of the heel bone is a small area of ​​tissue, with respect to the wide attachment region for the toes. Therefore, the excess of constant tension on the fascia will damage the weakest point attachment.
During irritation occurs to the heel bone, followed by inflammation and micro-tearing of the plantar fascia tissue. Sometimes swelling is present. If the tension continues the heel bone is the "answer" and develop a bone growth on the front of the heel bone. This is considered a "heel spur." Interestingly, the heel spur itself does not cause any pain, but the inflamed tissue around it does.
