How Does Regenerative Therapy Heal plantar Fasciitis?

 Are you having pain in the heel of the foot? It can be plantar fasciitis. But don’t be scared, it is not something life-threatening. The word plantar fasciitis is the medical term used to show the pain in the heel of the foot, due to damage in the plantar fascia. In Latin, plantar fasciitis means ‘inflammation of the plantar fascia’. The plantar fascia is a robust, thick and fibrous band of tissue or ligament, under our feet that connects our heel bone to the toes. The plantar fascia provides support to the arch of our foot and acts as shock absorbers. When your plantar fascia is swollen, weaken, and gets inflamed, you will experience pain in the heel of the foot. It can also cause pain in the arch of the foot, but the pain in the heel of the foot, or pain in the bottom of the foot, is more commonly experienced in plantar fasciitis. You will feel heel pain while walking, particularly heel pain in the morning. Plantar fasciitis is a widespread problem, occurs mostly in middle-aged people. But it can happen at any age. Athletes or soldiers are more likely to experience this problem of pain in the heel of the foot. Heel pain while walking, can happen in one foot, or in both feet. 



What causes plantar fasciitis?


Below are listed most common cause of plantar fasciitis -


  • Overusing your plantar fascia by doing excessive sports like running or walking or standing for extended periods. 

  • If you are overweight, then your excess weight presses your bones, nerves, muscles, and ligaments in the feet, which can lead to foot pain. It can happen during pregnancy also. 

  • Wearing unsupportive shoes with poor cushioning or poor arch support.

  • Having repeated small injuries to the fascia.

  • Rolling your feet inward excessively while walking (excessive pronation).

  • Flat feet.

  • Tight Achilles tendon or calf muscles.






Plantar fasciitis treatment ?


You can begin treatment by yourself at home by -


  • Taking sufficient rest by avoiding running, walking, or standing for an extended period

  • Placing an icepack on the affected area

  • Wearing proper footwear, with proper cushioning and support

  • Avoid going barefoot


If home care cannot manage the pain, then seek medical help. See below potential conventional treatment methods:


  • Oral medications with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen, to manage pain and inflammation.

  • Padding your shoes to soften the impact while walking.

  • Customized orthotic devices to fit in your shoes to correct any structural abnormality that might be causing plantar fasciitis. 

  • Corticosteroid injection to reduce inflammation.

  • Removable walking cast to keep foot immobile for a few weeks. 

  • Wearing night splint to reduce heel pain in the morning.

  • Physical therapy or stretches for plantar fasciitis, which can be particularly helpful to reduce foot pain during the morning. 


All these modalities aim to reduce pain and inflammation. But they produce only temporary relief. So, if there is no improvement in symptoms, your physician may recommend surgery to treat plantar fasciitis.
