Plantar Fasciitis Treatment near Glenunga

PLANTAR HEEL PAIN

Plantar Fasciitis is often described as the feeling of a stone bruise underneath the heel and fluctuates between acute sharpness to a constant ache. It usually causes pain in the first few steps in the morning and maybe later in the afternoon or evening.

Adelaide Podiatry Clinics offer podiatry care and treatment throughout Adelaide including Glenunga and surrounding areas.

Plantar Fasciitis

Heel Spur

Plantar Fasciosis

DEFINITION

Inflammation or degeneration caused by excessive stretching of the plantar fascia.

Plantar Fasciitis Glenunga

ANATOMY

Plantar fascia is a thick ligament that supports the sole of the foot

STAGES OF PLANTAR FASCIITIS

The earlier it is treated the easier and faster it will resolve and help to avoid surgery. There is a good chance
prescribed exercises and icing may resolve mild plantar fasciitis like in our 5 step heel pain relief
regime. However, many people will ignore the early symptoms in the hope that the tightness and the
dull ache in the heel will go away. Moderate and severe Plantar Fasciitis requires an assessment at
our clinic. If there is a partial or complete rupture, as in severe cases, you may require surgery.

Mild Plantar Fasciitis:

  • feels like a bruise under the heel
  • dull ache in the heel
  • ache in afternoons or after they have been on their feet for long periods
  • tightness in the arch of the foot
  • pain is intermittent and may not be every morning or afternoon

Moderate Plantar Fasciitis:

  • rather than feeling tight it is real pain
  • every morning there is pain
  • morning pain subsides after 1-5 minutes
  • pain after sitting down and getting up
  • depending on activity, pain may be evident by lunchtime

Severe Plantar Fasciitis:

  • excruciating pain for most of the day
  • throbbing, shooting and stabbing sensations at rest
  • possible tear or rupture of the plantar fascia which may require surgery
