What is Plantar Fasciitis?
When it comes to foot symptoms reported to healthcare providers, plantar fasciitis takes the lead, accounting for approximately 11-15% of cases. This prevalent condition manifests as intense heel pain, especially in the morning or following a period of rest. Interestingly, many patients report an improvement in pain levels after engaging in walking activities. The focal point of discomfort lies at the origin of the plantar fascia, precisely at the heel's medial calcaneal tubercle. For some individuals, the pain may worsen with passive dorsiflexion of the toes, particularly if they are dealing with chronic plantar fasciitis. Additionally, it is not uncommon for chronic plantar fasciitis sufferers to also experience swelling in the heel pad. Stay informed about these key aspects to gain a clearer understanding of this condition.
Tried everything else?
Heel pain affects individuals across different age groups and lifestyles. Whether you're an athlete or someone over 50 years old, it's common to seek assistance from osteopaths for plantar fasciopathy (PF). When it comes to treating PF, conservative approaches take precedence. These typically involve various methods such as rest, osteopathy, physiotherapy, stretching, exercises, shoe inserts/orthotics, night splints, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and local corticosteroid injections.
​
If you have tried everything else and still suffering, it is definitely worth considering Shockwave therapy. To ensure your treatment is optimised, it's crucial to assess the effectiveness of your current approach. As a vital initial step, we strongly recommend combining shockwave therapy with strengthening exercises, load management techniques, and adjusting footwear or utilising orthotics. This comprehensive approach will enhance your chances of achieving significant relief and recovery.
