Can Physical Therapy Heal Heel Pain? – Give Regenerative Medicine a Try!

 Heel pain is a common complaint from many people. More often it occurs to people who are performing high-impact activities, playing sports that involve jumping, wearing high heels and any number of other reasons. Heel pain arises from prolonged standing or walking throughout the day, putting excessive repeated stress on the heel part. As with other medical conditions, a bit of physical therapy can make a world of difference and ease any pain or tension you may be feeling. 


Recommended physical therapies to relieve heal pain

  • Incorporate stretching exercises such as standing calf stretch, seated ankle pumps, and seated fascia stretch into your everyday routine as soon as you wake up in the morning. These stretches will improve your range of motion, reduce the stress on your heels, and help relieve any joint stiffness that may be contributing to your pain. 

  • Bend the toes up to stretch the fascia. Similarly, bend the ankles up to stretch the Achilles tendon. These activities will bring relief to heel pain.

  • Repeat these stretching exercises for 10-20 times and hold the stretch for about 10 seconds.

  • Perform aerobic conditioning every day to increase blood circulation on the ankle and heel parts, which will improve their range of motion. Additionally, the endorphins released through aerobic exercise serve as natural painkillers. 

  • Yoga can strengthen and tone the body, and there are a few simple poses you can incorporate into your exercise program that will help strengthen your heel part and relieve chronic pain.


However, by practising the above-listed exercises, you may find temporary relief only. The reason is exercise can only mask the symptoms temporarily. But it cannot treat the underlying causes. Don’t let the heel pain hinder your focus!


Time to Regenerate

If you need permanent relief, it is time to opt for regenerative medicine. We offer regenerative medicine therapies like prolotherapy, PRP (Platelets Rich Plasma) therapy, as well as cellular therapies. Our non-surgical regenerative therapy could help you recover from pain by repairing the damaged tissues naturally. Patients could see significant improvement in symptoms in 2-3 weeks of having regenerative treatment. This treatment stimulates your healing mechanism to promote tissue repair. It is a minimally invasive day care procedure with minimal recovery time. You will stay fully conscious during this procedure. There is no risk of rejection or cross-transmission of disease either, as we use your own cells harvested from your body.

Will cracking your knuckles leads to osteoarthritis? – Ask Our Medical Stem Cells Clinic in Ireland

  Are you the knuckle cracker? Did anyone warn you by saying that this habit will lead to osteoarthritis? Don’t worry! There’s no evidence to back up that saying.   Cracking your knuckles is not the cause of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage, which coats the ends of the joints, breaks down. As the cartilage continues to tear over time, the bones rub each other, which hinders your movement and causes pain. Remember that the causes of osteoarthritis include wear-and-tear, repeated hand movements, past trauma and a genetic predisposition if any.  How does the popping sound arise during knuckle cracking? Your finger joints consist of synovial fluid that helps in moving around the joints smoothly. This fluid has gas bubbles. Whenever you crack your knuckles, you extend the space between the joints. Hence, the bubbles will burst, followed by creating a popping sound. Since it takes time for the bubbles to accumulate again, you can’t crack the same kn...
