 Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. More specifically, plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue, called plantar fascia, that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Overpronation is the most common cause of plantar fasciitis. As the foot rolls inward excessively when walking, it flattens the foot, lengthens the arch, and puts added tension on the plantar fascia. Over time, this causes inflammation.

Also known as heel spur syndrome, the condition is often successfully treated with conservative measures, such as the use of anti-inflammatory medications, ice packs, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and physical therapy. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications. In persistent cases, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Treatment (ESWT) may be used to treat the heel pain.

http://www.katyfootdoctor.com

  In our pursuit of healthy bodies, pain can be an enemy. In some instances, however, it is of biological benefit. Pain that occurs right after an injury or early in an illness may play a protective role, often warning us about the damage we've suffered. When we sprain an ankle, for example, the pain warns us that the ligament and soft tissues may be frayed and bruised, and that further activity may cause additional injury. Pain, such as may occur in our heels, also alerts us to seek medical attention. This alert is of utmost importance because of the many afflictions that contribute to heel pain.

 

Heel pain is generally the result of faulty biomechanics (walking gait abnormalities) which place too much stress on the heel bone and the soft tissues that attach to it. The stress may also result from injury, or a bruise incurred while walking, running, or jumping on hard surfaces; wearing poorly constructed footwear; or being overweight. The heel bone is the largest of 26 bones in the human foot, which also has 33 joints and a network of more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Like all bones, it is subject to outside influences that can affect its integrity and its ability to keep us on our feet. Heel pain, sometimes disabling, can occur in the front, back, or bottom of the heel.

Heel Pain and Heel Spur Treatment New Jersey - Offices in Paramus and Paterson NJ

One of the most common problems seen in the podiatrists office is heel pain. Most commonly the patient complains of pain in the morning as they take their first step. They can also complain that the pain gets worse at the end of the day. Although some of these people will have a heel spur on an x-ray, it is well known and understood that heel spurs do not cause heel pain but are the result of the real problem. On the contrary many people do not have a heel spur but have significant pain.

Whenever I get a negative x-ray of a painful heel I always perform a sonogram of the heel to examine whether or not there is an inflammation of the ligament that attaches to the heel. This ligament is called the plantar fascia and when inflamed is diagnosed as plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. More specifically, plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue, called plantar fascia, that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone.

There are many causes of plantar fasciitis. These include tightness in the back of the leg, stiffnes of the bunion joint, as well as a problem with the timing of the patients gait. A very recent study demonstrated that people with one leg longer than another will usually be symptomatic on the longer side.

This condition is often successfully treated with conservative measures, such as the use of anti-inflammatory medications, ice packs, stretching exercises, injection therapy, orthotic devices with lifts to balance both legs, and physical therapy.

ESWT (Electro Shock Wave Therapy) is a painless procedure performed in the office that is non-surgical. It works very well when all other treatments have failed. It sends deep vibrations to the area of pain to stimulate healing.

Injection therapy is a very common treatment and yet for many years, there was really no standard way to be sure that the medicine was getting into the right area. If you have had injections but they have not worked, the first question to ask is "How was the needle guided to the right area?" I always use ultrasound to guide the needle into the affected area as a surgeon might use the same modality to biopsy a breast mass.

In persistent cases, Radio Frequency Lesioning might be needed.

This is a medical treatment and does not require any cut to the skin or stitches. You can return to work right after the procedure is finished.

What causes Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis?

Heel pain is one of the leading causes that patients visit Curson Podiatry to have treated. Plantar fasciitis (or heel pain) is commonly traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. Dr. Curson can evaluate your arch pain, and may prescribe customized shoe inserts called orthotics to help alleviate the pain you are experiencing

.

About Plantar Fasciitis:

Are your first steps in the morning painful and as you start to walk around it starts to improve? Then you sit down everything is ok and then it starts again and stays with you like a dull headache. Then most likely you suffer from PLANTAR FASCIITIS!!!!

The plantar fascia is a band of connective tissue (think tendon it will be easier to understand) that originates in the heel and extends to your metatarsal heads, comparable to the knuckles on your hand. At night most of us sleep in the fetal position (back to the womb) and the bands on the bottom on the foot contract, you stand up, and BAM!, you have the pain until the bands loosen up as you walk.

Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the connective tissue that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Also called "heel spur syndrome", plantar fasciitis can be quite painful and you should consult with your Miami Beach podiatrist right away to develop a treatment plan.

Shockwave Therapy for Foot Pain - Podiatrist in New Albany and Seymour, IN - Zahid Ladha, DPM 

Dr. Zahid Ladha of Foot First Podiatry Center discusses the Shockwave Therapy for Foot Pain.

www.footfirstpodiatry.net

 

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is used to treat chronic heel pain (plantar fasciitis). "Extracorporeal" means "outside of the body." During this noninvasive procedure, sonic waves are directed at the area of pain using a device similar to that currently used in nonsurgical treatment of kidney stones.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy is prescribed for patients who have experienced plantar fasciitis for an extended period of time -- six months or more -- and have not benefited from other conservative treatments. The brief procedure lasts about 30 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia and/or "twilight" anesthesia. Strong sound waves are directed at and penetrate the heel area to stimulate a healing response by the body. ESWT is performed on an outpatient basis. Although there are no bandages, someone will need to drive the patient home.

People who are not candidates for ESWT include pregnant women and individuals with neurological foot disease, vascular foot disease, pacemakers, or people taking medications that interfere with blood clotting (such as Coumadin).

This therapy is a safe and effective alternative treatment for heel pain and only requires a short recovery time. Clinical studies show a 70 percent success rate for treatment of plantar fasciitis using Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy.

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY FOR HEEL PAIN

At last, a safe and highly effective solution for the treatment of plantar fasciitis. 

Plantar fasciitis (commonly referred to as "heel spurs") is a common cause of heel pain and affects about 2.5 million people each year in the U.S.

Most people think that heel spurs are the cause of their foot pain, however, the pain is actually caused by the inflammation or irritation of the plantar fascia (the connective tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot). To date, the treatment options have been inadequate for many sufferers.

If this is you - or someone you know - then take note. Relief is finally here! Based on the same breakthrough technology that has been effectively treating kidney stones for more than 20 years, the recent FDA approved Epos Ultra uses shock waves (also known as pressure or sound waves) to provide sufferers with relief.

How does it work?

The device sends high-energy shock waves through the foot to jumpstart the healing process by regenerating blood vessels in the injured area while providing an analgesic effect.

 

This non-invasive outpatient procedure often requires only a single, 30-minute session and many insurance carriers are already covering the costs.

So come see for yourself. Call 855-FIT-FEET today for more information and to schedule a consultation.

http://www.drlauradpm.com

 Ultrasound is a very effective tool for diagnosing a wide variety of foot and ankle problems, particularly soft tissue problems. Ultrasound uses sound waves on the body in a way much like radar uses sound waves. The waves hit a targeted area and are bounced back to a recording device, which produces an image. Ultrasound is a completely safe, noninvasive, and painless diagnostic procedure.

Common problems for which ultrasound may be prescribed include:

• Bursitis.
• Heel spurs or plantar fasciitis.
• Injuries of the ligaments, tendons, or cartilage.
• Morton's neuroma.
• Presence of foreign bodies.
• Soft tissue masses.
• Tarsal tunnel syndrome.
• Tendonitis or tears in a tendon.

Dr. George Costaras of Elyria Foot Clinic discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Heel Pain.

http://www.elyriafootclinic.com

 Heel pain is an extremely common and potentially disruptive affliction that has many possible causes, including stress fractures, arthritis, nerve irritation, cysts, tendonitis and most often, plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the tissue that connects the heel to the toes becomes inflamed. This inflammation causes pain on the bottom of the heel that can continue to grow in intensity over time.

You may be prone to developing this painful condition if the mechanics of your feet aren’t ideal, such as flat feet or excessively high arches, or if you have poor alignment in your feet that causes you to walk on the inner or outer edges of your feet. Overweight individuals may be more likely to develop plantar fasciitis and it can occur from spending hours on the feet in shoes that offer little or no support.

Treatment options for plantar fasciitis included an effective stretching regimen, icing, footwear modifications, anti-inflammatory medications and weigh reduction to lessen the impact on the feet. More severe cases may be treated with additional padding and orthotic devices, the use of a walking cast, night splints and physical therapy. If you are experiencing heel pain, visit with one of our podiatry specialists to learn if you may be suffering from plantar fasciitis.
