Plantar Fasciitis is responsible for 15% of all foot problems. Over ten percent the population will be affected at some point in their lives. It caused by inflammation a broad band tissue that links your heel bone to toes and runs across bottom (plantar fascia). fasciitis type plantar causes stabbing pain when you take first steps morning. The discomfort usually goes away as get up move around,...

(1) Electrohydraulic, electromagnetic, or piezoelectric devices are used to translate energy into acoustic waves during extracorporeal shock wave treatment (ESWT) for chronic plantar fasciitis (or heel pain). These waves may help to accelerate the healing process via an unknown mechanism. (2) ESWT, which is performed as an outpatient procedure, is intended to alleviate the pain due to chronic p...

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of inferior heel pain. The pain and discomfort associated with this condition can have a dramatic impact on physical mobility. The etiology of this condition is not clearly understood and is probably multi-factorial in nature. Weight gain, occupation-related activity, anatomical variations, poor biomechanics, overexertion, and inadequate footwear are c...

Plantar fasciitis lifetime prevalence is approximately 10% of the US population creating a significant burden to the health care delivery system. Approximately 90% of patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis respond to nonsurgical therapy and do not require surgical intervention [1]. However plantar fasciitis has a significant deleterious effect on both foot function and general health overall...

ISSN 1650-1977 Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasonographic guided botulinum toxin type A injections into the plantar fascia to reduce pain and improve gait in patients with unilateral plantar fasciitis.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY One of the most common causes of chronic heel pain is plantar fasciitis (ocalcaneal spur?). This condition most frequently occurs in patients over the age of 40. In most cases pain can be reduced or ceased by conservativ treatment, but in some patients therapy-resistant chronic pain can also develop. In these cases surgery may provide long term solution. The aim of this pro...

Acharya Sushruta explained that when a person walk on the irregular or uneven surface, vata gets localized and aggravated in khuda pradesha (Ankle joint) produce pain heal region known as Vatakantaka. It can be compared to Plantar Fasciitis. Fasciitis is one of painful condition heel hampers daily activity. caused due repeated stretch strain plantar fascia resulting injury inflammation which pr...

BACKGROUND Plantar fasciitis is the most commonly reported cause of chronic pain beneath the heel. Management of this condition commonly involves the use of corticosteroid injection in cases where less invasive treatments have failed. However, despite widespread use, only two randomised trials have tested the effect of this treatment in comparison to placebo. These trials currently offer the be...

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain which seems difficult to treat in its most chronic and severe forms. Earlier treatments, including orthoses, non drugs, and steroid injections are paucity of supportive cli serious complication and permanent disability. Platelet demonstrated to be helpful in managi failed. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and preliminary ...
