Plantar
Fascitis
This condition is an
inflammation of the base of the foot. The fascia overlies the
muscles and tendons and shortens as a result of overuse or repetitive
use. Treatment consists of:
- Reduce activity
during acute phase. Look to cross train.
- Icing the base of
the foot multiple times per day (frozen ice in a Dixie cup)
- Using gentle thumb
massage over entire base of foot multiple times per day with
gentle stretching with The Maggs
Muscle Management ProgramTM.
- If available, ultra-sound
treatment.
- Rehab
Plus will help to reduce inflammation naturally, while
also encouraging an accelerated recovery. Calcium/Magnesium
will provide much needed minerals for improved contraction and
relaxation of the muscle.
- Evaluate foot-type,
and make sure proper shoes are being worn. Consider custom orthotics
if necessary.
- Consider a Structural
Fingerprint Exam for locating and detecting biomechanical
defects.
