Plantar Fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, especially in active individuals or those who stand for long periods. It occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot from the heel to the toes, becomes irritated or inflamed.
Ankle pain can arise from a variety of causes, including injuries, overuse, or underlying conditions. Common sources of ankle pain include:
Caused by twisting or rolling the ankle, often resulting in ligament or muscle damage.
Breaks or cracks in the bones of the ankle, typically due to trauma or accidents.
Degeneration of the cartilage in the ankle joint can lead to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
Inflammation in the tendons around the ankle, often caused by repetitive motion or overuse.
Inflammation of the bursa (fluid-filled sacs) around the ankle joint, leading to swelling and pain.
After surgery, muscles weaken, joints stiffen, and mobility is often restricted. A well-structured rehabilitation program helps to:
Targeted exercises to improve strength, mobility, and prevent future injuries.
Use of anti-inflammatory treatments, ice, or heat therapy to manage discomfort.
Custom shoe inserts to provide better support and reduce strain on the ankle.
Step-by-step recovery programs to safely restore ankle function and strength.
Plantar Fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, especially for people who stand or walk for extended periods. It occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue connecting your heel to your toes, becomes inflamed. This condition can significantly affect your mobility and quality of life.:
Long periods of standing or walking, especially on hard surfaces, can strain the plantar fascia.
Shoes lacking arch support or cushioning can contribute to the development of plantar fasciitis.
Conditions like flat feet or high arches can increase stress on the fascia
Extra body weight places additional strain on the feet.
After surgery, muscles weaken, joints stiffen, and mobility is often restricted. A well-structured rehabilitation program helps to:
Stretching exercises for the Achilles tendon, calves, and plantar fascia to relieve tension and promote healing.
Non-invasive treatment that helps stimulate healing and reduce pain.
Shoe inserts designed to provide proper arch support and alleviate pressure on the heel.
Special splints that keep your foot in a dorsiflexed position overnight, gently stretching the fascia.
Ice therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and massage techniques to reduce pain and swelling.
