PLANTAR MYOFASCITIS

FOOT PAIN

(keywords: Plantar myofascitis, chiropractic, foot pain, ankle joint pain )

Plantar myofascitis is a term that refers to pain on the sole of the foot. Do you have it? Frustrated? Chiropractic can help you.











With plantar fasciitis it's the sole of the foot that usually hurts. It may be worse when you stand bare foot, especially first thing in the morning. Pain usually occurs on the inside of the foot, near the spot where your heel and arch meet, but in fact can occur anywhere along the sole of the foot. The pain may refer towards the forefoot.



What is the Plantar Fascia?

The plantar fascia is a complex band of fibres which run from the calcaneus (heel bone) to the base of the toes. Plantar fascitis occurs when these tissues are irritated and become inflamed. Boney spurs may form on the heel at the attachment of the plantar fascia if this condition is not correctly treated.

A heel spur may grow where the plantar fascia attaches to the heel. The heel spur forms in response to the plantar fascia’s tug on the heel bone.

It is a condition that tends to respond poorly to traditional treatment. The pain and muscular dysfunction can seriously affect the normal life of an individual, but in an athlete it’s a disaster in both training and racing performance.

Conventional therapy (without surgery) usually requires six weeks to three months. In contrast, with the appropriate chiropractic treatment it often resolves within a few weeks. If it's chronic, then an occasional regular treatment may be necessary.



What causes this painful condition on the sole of the foot?

There are also certainly other causes in the knee, hip and lower leg. There is no substitute for a thorough examination to discover the cause. Another, your weight? Consider then our Free weight loss programs ... Long distance walking, running and cycling, or just standing can overwork these muscles. As they are chronically over-worked, they start to shorten causing plantar myofascitis.

When a muscle shortens, it is less resilient and is more easily damaged, and becomes painful. This applies for example to the Rotator Cuff syndrome in the shoulder, just as it would in the foot. Rotator Cuff Syndrome ....

It may also develop years after a poorly managed ankle sprain that permanently changed your gait - the way you walk. The body compensates by trying to strengthen the attachment for muscles now undergoing undue stress. For more about the chiropractic ankle sprain treatment, click here. Ankle Joint pain ....


CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT

Specific chiropractic treatment of the foot has been shown to be very effective in the treatment of Plantar Myofascitis, restoring unimpeded motion and function of the foot.

Chiropractors interested in the foot excel in the treatment of this problem because they look at the whole kinematic chain – the sacro-iliac joints, the hips, the knees, the feet …

While it is not adequately researched, there is a suggestion that a night splint which stretches the plantar fascia may help. Ankle exercises and stretches of the calf muscles and the arch of the foot are extremely important. These must be done on a regular basis, especially first thing in the morning for your plantar myofascitis. Best barefoot, with a cushion, carpet under the heel.





Place the toes against a plinth (BARE FOOT), lean forward keeping the heel on the ground until a stretch can be felt along the length of the foot and calf.

Reduced training may be important for an athlete in the acute phase. Icing of the sole is much safer than anti-inflammatory pills. Use an ice-block directly over the painful area, and follow it with moist heat. Do it, repeating several times, in the bath.

Weight loss may be appropriate. Smoking aggravates the healing of all such conditions - it reduces the oxygen in the blood, vital for healing.

If you are suffering from heel pain such as plantar fasciitis, check out the only heel seat on the market today that has an acupressure bar imbedded in the heel seat to help relieve the pain by stretching the fascia tendon with every step you take. For more about the HTPHeelSeats click here.
