Non-surgical treatment options for foot pain and plantar fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes (plantar fascia).

Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your first steps in the morning. As you get up and move, the pain normally decreases, but it might return after long periods of standing or when you stand up after sitting.

People who are overweight and those who wear shoes with inadequate support also have an increased risk of plantar fasciitis.  With the summer in full swing and flip-flop season here, your patients will be calling you, looking for solutions to their foot pain!

Tips for easing foot pain and plantar fasciitis:

 1)  Most people who have plantar fasciitis recover in several months with rest.

2)  Icing the affected area. Try the ThermoActive Ankle/Foot Support. It provides a combination of cold and compression therapy technology that has been proven to improve outcomes.

3)  Use an off-the-shelf orthotic such as our Genext brand for additional support and improved biomechanics. It is built on a cork and rubber shell. Tri density bamboo charcoal foams to maximize both shock absorption and cushioning. Bamboo charcoal manages to control moisture, odor, and antibacterial present in the foot. Polyester top cover designed to reduce friction and wick away moisture. Cupped rearfoot provides both stability and support in the heel. 

4)  Wearing proper shoes and sandals with good support. It is important that your footwear supports the arch of the foot and absorb shocks when you walk. See our collection of orthopedic shoes and sandals.
