Heal Pain Treatment
Plantar fasciitis is a common podiatric condition that affects the plantar fascia, a band of tissue located on the bottom of the foot. This connective tissue plays a crucial role in supporting the foot arch and absorbing shock during gait and locomotion. When the plantar fascia becomes hypertrophic, tight, or inflamed, it can cause sharp pain in the calcaneal region.
Common Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is characterized by several common clinical manifestations, including:
- Sharp heel pain, especially in the morning or after prolonged periods of inactivity
- Pain that exacerbates with weight-bearing activities or prolonged standing
- Tenderness and edema in the heel area
- Difficulty in ambulation or bearing weight on the affected foot
Causes of Plantar Fasciitis
Poor Foot Mechanics
Insufficient Arch Support
Overuse of Feet
Other Potential Etiological Factors
Other factors that may contribute to calcaneal pain include obesity, age-related degeneration, and certain systemic conditions like arthritis or diabetes mellitus.
THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS FOR HEEL PAIN
Treatment options for heel pain include:
- Laser Therapy
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
- Biologic Therapy
- Custom Orthotics
- Corticosteroid Injections
