Plantar Fasciitis - It's CauseAKA: heel spurs, heel pain, arch pain, or just sore feet. Click here to view animation of pronation
Plantar fasciitis is the #1 most common foot problem. It is caused by activity, overuse and aging. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation due to repeated overstretching of the plantar fascia ligament with every step you take, usually at the point where the fascia is attached to the heel bone. This condition rarely occurs at the front of the foot. The pain usually decreases after walking. Contributing factors are:
Plantar Fasciitis TreatmentThree Categories of Response for Plantar Fasciitis Treatment with the Silicone Dynamic Orthotic (SDO): 1/3 will have very quick and profound reversal of symptoms within a few days to 8 weeks. One adjustment may be necessary to fine tune the prescription. 1/3 will take a little more time (2-3 months) to feel comfortable on the SDO, but a positive healing response is noted. 1-2 adjustments may be necessary. CHRONIC PROBLEM:This is the most difficult category to treat. A minimum of 1-2 years of unsuccessful treatment or neglect will have occurred.
Sensory loss and muscle strain from the years of accumulated wear and tear will take considerable time to restore flexibility to the small intrinsic muscles of the feet. A minimum of several months to one-two years will be required to obtain satisfactory relief. 6-10 years will be needed to reverse your wear and tear anywhere that occurred from 10-30 years ago. 3-4 adjustments, may be needed just for you to get comfortable and tolerate the orthotic.
