Understanding Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis involves inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel bone to your toes. This inflammation is often caused by repetitive strain and can lead to severe pain, especially with the first steps after waking up or long periods of standing.
Comprehensive Treatment Options at ClinicAll Banbury
At ClinicAll Banbury, we understand that every patient is unique, and so is their path to recovery. Our clinic offers a wide range of treatment pathways tailored to your specific needs. Here’s how we manage plantar fasciitis effectively:
- Progressive Loading of the Tendon
Progressive loading of the tendon is a cornerstone of our treatment approach. This physiotherapy technique involves gradually increasing the load on the plantar fascia through specific exercises. Our expert physiotherapists will guide you through a personalized exercise program designed to strengthen the affected area, improve flexibility, and promote healing.
Benefits of Progressive Loading:
– Strengthens the plantar fascia
– Reduces pain and inflammation
– Improves overall foot function - Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)
If conservative treatments do not yield the desired results, ESWT may be recommended. This non-invasive procedure uses sound waves to stimulate healing in the plantar fascia. The therapy is quick, safe, and has been proven to be highly effective in reducing pain and promoting tissue repair.
Advantages of ESWT:
– Non-invasive and no downtime
– Stimulates natural healing processes
– Reduces pain and inflammation - Guided Steroid Injections
For particularly stubborn cases of plantar fasciitis, guided steroid injections might be necessary. Using advanced imaging techniques, our specialists can precisely deliver corticosteroids to the site of inflammation. This targeted approach can provide significant pain relief and reduce inflammation when other treatments have not been effective.
Benefits of Guided Steroid Injections:
– Provides targeted pain relief
– Reduces severe inflammation
– Quick procedure with lasting results
