Finding Relief for My Plantar Fasciitis in Lake Mary FL

Are you suffering from plantar fasciitis, a common foot condition that causes pain and inflammation in the heel and bottom of the foot? If so, you are not alone. Many people suffer from this condition, but relief may be closer than you think.

I, myself, dealt with severe plantar fasciitis for many years. I tried everything from stretching exercises to orthotics, but nothing seemed to provide long-lasting relief. That is until I discovered Acoustic Compression Therapy in Lake Mary, FL.

I was skeptical at first, but after only 8 short sessions, my pain and inflammation significantly decreased. Acoustic Compression Therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate the body's natural healing process, resulting in decreased pain and inflammation.

The sessions are painless, and the therapy can be applied to various areas of the body, not just the feet. The staff at the facility were knowledgeable, supportive, and understanding of my condition. They worked with me to create an individualized treatment plan that focused on my specific needs.

Now, I am able to enjoy activities such as hiking and running without the constant pain and discomfort. Acoustic Compression Therapy has truly been a life-changing experience for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone suffering from plantar fasciitis or any other chronic pain condition.

If you are interested in learning more about Acoustic Compression Therapy for plantar fasciitis treatment in Lake Mary FL, I encourage you to reach out to the knowledgeable staff at the facility. With their guidance and expertise, you too can find relief and start living your life to the fullest.

Causes of Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that can disrupt your life. Knowing the causes of plantar fasciitis can help you prevent it. Taking steps to protect the health of your feet can save you from a lot of pain over time.

Insoles and orthotics

Having flat feet means that your plantar fascia are more open to damage, which can lead to developing plantar fasciitis. Using arch supports, heel supports, or any kind of orthotics that put upward pressure onto any one part of the foot, risks damaging or irritating your plantar fascia. Avoid insoles or anything that causes additional pain or discomfort.

“Stretching the foot” is not beneficial

You may have seen recommendations for stretches or exercises such as rolling your foot on a tennis ball, step stretches, or doing towel stretches. Your plantar fascia is not actually designed to stretch very much at all, and stretching it can damage or reinjure your tissue. This is also true for massage. If you’re having any pain, rubbing and putting more pressure on to the area can lead to more irritation.

Cortisone does not help you to heal

It’s true that cortisone injections can reduce pain and swelling, but only temporarily. They can also cause a variety of side effects, including skin discoloration, infection, tissue thinning, and even leading to rupturing the plantar fascia. It’s best to avoid cortisone, if possible.

These are only a few of the potential causes of plantar fasciitis. Educate yourself with the facts, and protect your feet from developing plantar fasciitis – you can find more detailed information at the link below.

Heel Pain No More: Expert Podiatrists Provide Comprehensive Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Plantar fasciitis, the notorious troublemaker of the foot world, is no stranger to causing heel pain and discomfort. This common condition has a knack for disrupting your daily activities and throwing a wrench in your quality of life, bringing frustrating interference to your day-to-day routines.

Fortunately, in Plainfield, some expert podiatrists specialize in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. In this blog, we will explore the comprehensive treatment options provided by these skilled Plainfield Podiatrist professionals, offering you hope for lasting relief from heel pain.

Symptoms & Risk Factors Of Plantar Fasciitis: A Comprehensive Understanding

Plantar Fasciitis, a prevalent foot ailment, manifests as inflammation of the plantar fascia—a thick tissue band stretching from the heel to the toes on the underside of the foot. Repetitive strain and excessive foot usage contribute to this condition, resulting in micro-tears and subsequent irritation.

The primary symptom of plantar fasciitis is sharp heel pain, especially upon the first steps in the morning or after prolonged periods of rest. Understanding Plantar Fasciitis involves recognizing its causes, symptoms, and risk factors, which can help individuals seek timely treatment and adopt preventive measures to manage and alleviate the condition.

10 Telltale Signs: Is Plantar Fasciitis Affecting Your Feet?

•Arch pain or discomfort.

•Difficulty bearing weight on foot.

•Heel pain in the morning.

•Pain after prolonged periods of rest.

•Pain radiating to the calf.

•Pain worsens with activity.

•Sharp pain with each step.

•Stiffness in the foot.

•Swelling in the heel area.

•Tenderness when touching the heel.

Comprehensive Treatment Approaches For Plantar Fasciitis

Plainfield Podiatrist takes a comprehensive approach to treating plantar fasciitis, focusing on alleviating pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing. Here are some of the key treatment methods they employ:

1.Custom Orthotics: Podiatrists may recommend custom orthotic devices, such as shoe inserts or arch supports, to provide proper support and alignment to the foot. These orthotics help reduce strain on the plantar fascia and alleviate pain.

2.Physical Therapy: A structured physical therapy program can be highly effective in treating Plantar Fasciitis. Podiatrists work closely with physical therapists to design a tailored exercise regimen that includes stretching and strengthening exercises to improve flexibility, reduce pain, and enhance overall foot function.

3.Non-Surgical Interventions: Various non-surgical interventions are utilized to relieve symptoms. These include:

Medications: To alleviate pain and inflammation, healthcare professionals might recommend the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or administer corticosteroid injections.

Night Splints: Wearing a night splint keeps the foot in a neutral position during sleep, preventing the plantar fascia from tightening overnight and reducing morning pain.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT): This non-invasive treatment involves using shock waves to stimulate healing in the affected area, reducing pain and promoting tissue regeneration.

4.Lifestyle Modifications: Plainfield Podiatrist emphasizes the importance of lifestyle modifications to support the healing process. This includes avoiding activities that aggravate the condition, wearing supportive footwear, and maintaining a healthy weight to reduce strain on the feet.

5.Surgical Intervention (if necessary): In severe cases where conservative treatments fail to provide relief, podiatrists may consider surgical options. Surgical procedures for plantar fasciitis aim to release tension on the plantar fascia or remove damaged tissue, providing long-term pain relief.

Conclusion

Living with Plantar Fasciitis can be debilitating, but with the help of expert podiatrists in Plainfield, relief is within reach. Through a comprehensive treatment approach that includes custom orthotics, physical therapy, non-surgical interventions, and, if necessary, surgical intervention, these professionals are dedicated to helping you overcome heel pain and regain your quality of life.

Most of us know about progesterone as a female hormone, but did you know that males need progesterone to produce testosterone? Progesterone protects our nerves and helps to regulate the fluids in our body. Obesity, chronic stress and poor diet and cause progesterone imbalances. Its all about homeostasis, baby!

So many, many years ago, when I was twenty and foolish and thought I was immortal, I sprained my ankle very badly hiking with some friends on Spring Break. Being an immortal college student, and also a broke American with a shitty healthcare system, I shrugged it off, wrapped it in a compression bandage for a bit, iced it, and limped around campus for about six weeks while it kinda-sorta healed.

But it turns out that once you do a number on an ankle and don't properly rehab it, you're much more likely to sprain the joint again-- something to do with the tendons stretching and your brain not compensating for the stretch in your balance. I dunno, the doctor explained it to me and it made a lot of sense, but I don't remember the terms she used.

Anyway, I have sprained my ankle a million times since college. I've done the "oh SHIT" slip down the stairs, the "trip over a student's bookbag and land funny" move, the "I swear I was just walking on the sidewalk and there was nothing THERE" sprain-- all of them. So my ankle is pretty shot.

And then about four years ago, I started developing plantar fasciitis-- which is pretty common in teachers, because we spend all day on our feet on hard tiles. The treatment for plantar fasciitis is basically rest-- stay off the inflamed tissues until the irritation goes down, and then do some PT. But that's kind of impossible in my job, so I just... dealt with it. I iced it, rolled out the bottoms of my feet every night, bought hideously expensive and supportive shoes, and when it got so bad I wanted to cry, I'd take some anti-inflammatories and suck it up. Because what else was I going to do? Not teach? It's teaching. Everyone's feet hurt.

But then last April I sprained my ankle really badly taking the trash out, of all things, and it just-- never really got better. I mean, the swelling went down, I had full range of motion, and I was certain it wasn't broken-- I've broken several bones in my life, and am pretty familiar with that sort of pain-- but there was just this lingering, deep pain. But I had things I needed to do, you know? I had the end of the year to get through, graduation duties, and my parents were dead set on a family trip to Scotland. So I sucked it up, took some anti-inflammatories, and pushed through.

But I couldn't walk where I wanted to go on the trip. My mother, who has had two knee replacements, could walk farther and faster than I could. We took a trip to an island one day and I wanted to see the puffins nesting-- was determined to see them, because I love puffins-- and I made myself climb up the cliff face and walk the rough path for two miles, and I saw the damn birds and they were beautiful, but the back of my calf was burning like acid and that night I couldn't stand to let my heel touch the mattress in bed, it was that painful. The next day I could barely walk around the city center without wanting to cry, and all I could think was, "I'm ruining this trip, because I'm slowing everyone down."

So when I came home, I made an appointment with my GP-- not that this is a GP issue, but American insurance being what it is, we jump through the hoops to get a referral to the person who can actually solve the problem. And today I finally had an appointment with the specialist, and--

It is so affirming and such a goddamn relief to have someone take time to listen, and examine, and to then say, "Here is what the problems are, they are REAL problems, and you're not weak for being in pain." At one point she said, "It sounds like your pain is about an eight," and I was like, "Oh, no, absolutely not," because I'd been thinking that an eight on the pain scale was, like, I-am-actively-bleeding-out. But she said, no, if the pain was stopping me from doing things or making me live my life differently than I would if it were more manageable-- that's an eight. And, I don't know, that sort of broke my brain, because I do things like make a list of all the tasks I need to accomplish during my planning period that are going to have me walking around the school, and then I figure out the most efficient route-- all so I don't have to walk as far, because my ankle can't take it.

So then I cried a little, and told her I was glad it wasn't all in my head, and she was very kind and firm and said that no, it absolutely wasn't.

It's my Achilles' tendon, among other things. All the sprains and stresses over the years have made a bunch of micro-tears, and it's inflamed to hell and back. So I'm in an air cast for four weeks and on a course of steroids to just get the inflammation down, and then we'll see about PT. And if that's not helping, then it's time to think about surgery.

I don't know what the moral of the story is, except that there's no virtue in pain, and that when you're twenty and you hurt yourself hiking the AT, you should spend that money on a co-pay to see your doctor instead of those concert tickets, because your forty-one year old self has regrets.

So I have plantar fasciitis in both feet and I think I’m at my wit’s end. I started having issues in 2018, but my doctor just told me to do certain stretches and get good shoes/insoles. I did all of that for years. It only got progressively worse. I probably spent a few thousand dollars on shoes and insoles between 2018 and 2022. I’ve tried night splints but can’t sleep in them. I’ve tried multiple types and can’t fall asleep with them on.

Finally last summer I got referred to a podiatrist. Spent a month in a boot. It didn’t help at all. Got cortisone shots and FINALLY got some fucking relief. It was months of freedom from the pain.

Then in December, I woke up one morning and as soon as I put weight on my feet, the pain was back. First just in my right foot, so bad I was struggling to get out of bed. Then both feet. I was unemployed at this time and so I didn’t know if I would end up working on my feet again or not.

Now I’m back in a restaurant working and the pain is worse than ever. I’m not really allowed to sit at all and so it’s just 6 hours of standing around while the pain gets worse and worse. I come home not just in pain, but so tired. I wake up still exhausted and still in pain.

I’ve tried to schedule an appointment to get more cortisone but I honestly am at the point where I want surgery. They can go in a cut the ligament so the problem is solved. But it takes 6+ of recovery, on crutches. If I were to have this surgery I would be out of work that whole time. Since it’s both feet, I’d also be in a wheel chair and my house is not equipped for that. I also doubt my insurance would cover enough of it to not be in debt forever. If I get cortisone again, the pain will come back a few months from now - probably worse than ever. I just don’t know what to do.

I’m at my wit’s fucking l end. I almost cried getting out of bed this morning because it hurt so bad. I work tonight and it’s only the first shift of the week. I have four more after this and I’m already in so much pain.

Any advice would be helpful. Or just knowing others have been here. 😭
