What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar Fasciitis is a general term given to pain experienced on the bottom of the foot, often towards the heel. When the plantar fascia, an unyielding ribbon of connective tissue running from the heel to the ball of the foot, is under excessive tension, pain at the insertion point onto the heel bone – resulting in Plantar Fasciitis.
There are many causes including trapped nerves, joint inflammation and soft tissue injury. The pain and discomfort experienced can range from mild to so extreme that weight bearing is impossible.
Patients often present with this painful condition when they have taken unusual or hard exercise/activity, particularly in un-cushioned, unsupportive footwear.
Increased weight, pregnancy or an illness that causes the foot structure to splay can also cause Plantar Fasciitis, Clicking Here if you are interested in knowing if you have plantar fasciitis.
Treatment
There are a number of treatment suggestions for this painful condition, but the most critical aspect of healing is to remove further aggravation to the affected tissues. Try using CBD cream to alleviate muscular pain as a more natural solution. You can visit sites like https://cobocbd.com/product/broad-spectrum-cbd-400mg-muscle-rub-pump/ to buy one. Some people prefer something they can eat, so they take delta 8 extract gummies 50 mg. There are several different options, so you should pick whichever works best for you.
A podiatrist can help you get the appropriate Plantar Fasciitis treatment. They can also provide bunion treatment if you are suffering from bunions as well as any other foot-related disorders.
Ensuring the foot structure is not allowed to deform/splay by wearing stabilising and supportive insoles in cushioned footwear is vital.
The most effective treatment is to have feet supported with custom orthotics.
The Footbalance System is designed to create custom made insoles to aid alignment and a 30 minute appointment can leave you walking in greater comfort. Click here for more information on Footbalance.
Resting & elevating the foot allows the inflamed tissues to cool, and gentle massage encourages healing. If the pain doesn’t go away, it is strongly recommended that you visit your foot doctor office immediately.
