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.

Start running again with Regenerative Treatment for Runner’s knee

  The Knee joint is one of the most important and strongest joints of the locomotor system of the human body. The pressure experienced by the knee joint is approximately three times the body’s weight when walking and about five times the body’s weight when running. In short, a person who weighs 80 kg puts about 400kg of pressure on the knee when landing each running stride. The immense pressure experienced by the knee, especially in runners, makes the knee more prone to injury. Iliotibial or IT band syndrome, also called runner’s knee, is a common knee injury, especially in runners. It is the second most common knee injury in runners after the jumper’s knee.  What is Iliotibial or IT band syndrome or runner’s knee?

Is there a best time to have Regenerative Cell Treatment? We can help with most musculoskeletal conditions for example osteoarthritis grade 1-4 of all major joints as well as back and neck. The question you might ask yourself though is when is the best time to start treatment? There are multiple factors which influence the best time to start treatment. There are 4 stages of  osteoarthritis  with grade 4 being the most severe. Unfortunately, most patients we see leave it quite late to get treated, which can affect the overall outcome.
