Plantar fascia ligament stretching is the most common reason for heel pain. It causes swelling of the band of tissues connecting the bottom of the foot to the heel bone. The swelling leads to a severe pain sensation that you do not want to experience. The pain is high in the morning and eventually decreases by evening.

This condition is commonly found in runners, obese patients, or those who do not have the habit of using proper shoe support, have flat feet, have jobs that make them move or stand for a long time, etc.

How Fascia issue is treated

Here are some treatment therapies used by a podiatrist to treat plantar warts.

·       Custom orthotics

These custom-made shoes provide the right balance and cushioning to your feet. They are uniquely designed to make your feet feel the best.

·       Physical therapy

The therapy teaches you various exercises and stretches to promote and strengthen the healing process. Physical therapists also use shock wave therapy and massaging techniques to help stimulate the flow of blood.

·       Strapping, taping, and splints

A popular daily relief method is strapping, taping, and splinting. All these three methods are used to reduce the load on the heels by providing support to the fascia ligament.

Medications

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the best option to treat patients dealing with moderate or mild arch pain and discomfort. These drugs reduce the swelling and give comfort to strained, inflamed, or torn fascia ligaments.

·       Steroid injection

If the pain caused by fasciitis is not reduced by NSAIDs, then Podiatrists might recommend you an injection. Steroid injections are given to patients who deal with day-to-day irritation and are suited to reveal the pain.

·       Surgery

Heel and foot surgery is the last option. When none of the above-mentioned options can treat the issue, then surgery is the only option. The process involves cutting the tendon part to remove tension. This alleviates discomfort. Studies have shown that surgery results in a 75% success rate. Patients feel less pain after surgery.

·       Stem cell injections

Stem Cell injections or PRP is a groundbreaking new procedure. It promotes ankle and foot repair naturally. The process involves injecting plasma that is rich in platelets into the area of the foot that is injured. The stem cells in the plasma region will stimulate cellular procreation. This results in speeding up the process of healing of the damaged area thereby reducing the arch strain.

It doesn’t matter whether you are suffering from ankle or foot problems, experienced and knowledgeable foot doctors will treat you by creating a customized treatment plan. They help you get back to your healthy lifestyle. They provide you with better support and alignment thereby making your life better.
