PLANTAR FASCIITIS / HEEL SPURS 2. Calcaneus 4. Achilles Tendon 1. Plantar Fascia 3. Metatarsal Heads DEFINITION: The plantar fascia1 is a tough fibrous ligament on the sole of the foot. It extends from the calcaneum2 (heel) to the metatarsal heads3 (toes) and acts to maintain the arch of the foot. Plantar fasciitis is the term used to describe inflammation of the plantar fascia1. SYMPTOMS: Pain at the origin of the plantar fascia1 at the calcaneum2, particularly when: Standing after rest (the inflamed/torn area of the plantar fascia1 stretches) Prolonged standing or exercise (the plantar fascia1 is bruised from pressure) The area is markedly tender and often also slightly swollen. A spur at the calcanuem2 (a bony growth on the heel). CAUSES: Whenever weight is put through the foot, the plantar fascia1 is under tension and stretched. Repeated stretch of the fascia fatigues it. The natural repair mechanism cannot keep up with the fatigue. This can be due to: An increase in weight or activity level Age causing general wear and tear Ill-fitting shoes, or shoes with inadequate support Tight calf muscles / Achilles tendon4 (Achilles tendon pulls on the calcaneum2, hence causing tension on the plantar fascia1) Excess pronation (rolling in) or flat feet (the arch lowers, placing excess strain on the arch and subsequent inflammation of the plantar fascia1) Pregnancy (due to the weight increase and elastic ligaments) SURGERY: In extreme cases a surgical release (excision of the inflamed tissue and a release of nerves in the heel) is the last option available. Rarely will a heel spur be excised, non-surgical options should be exhausted first.

Rest and ice (see ice program below) Exercises and stretches (see stretching program below) Assessment and correction of any underlying biomechanical causes (e.g. flat feet, pronation) and prescription of Orthotic arch supports to remedy this Physiotherapy treatment Cortisone injections Treatment should be initially aimed at decreasing the inflammation, keeping the fascia at its natural length (to decrease fiber disruption) and to cushioning. Ice Program: Place a can of drink, straight from the fridge, onto the floor. Place your foot on top of the can so the curved surface of the can sits in the arch of your foot. Roll your foot back and forth over the can. This will gently stretch your plantar fascia to its natural length, create an arch in your foot and decrease the inflammation of the plantar fascia due to the very cold can.

Achilles tendon. Frequency: 30 seconds each side, four times a day Assessment & Correction of Underlying Biomechanical Causes: Consult your Orthopaedics Australia Orthotist for an opinion. A full examination of your feet including palpation, gait analysis, lifestyle and footwear analysis will be completed to ensure accurate diagnosis. Orthotics are the best treatment modality for this particular condition. A thick heel pad is a good start in determining whether an Orthotic will be needed. If the pain is relieved with a heel pad, an Orthotic will offer a better permanent solution. Orthotics distribute the weight of your body to other areas of the foot, unloading the heel as well as cushioning the painful area. Careful consideration should also be given to footwear (supportive shoes with a soft sole are the best type of footwear for this condition). For more information phone: 1300 668 117
