Plantar fascia
Since we talk about fasciitis, we should realize that plantar fascia is a kind of elastic and tough structure, which plays an extremely important role in foot function. Due to trauma or overuse, when the fascia has pain points and its elasticity becomes worse, the sole of the foot will induce pain.
Judging pain points
To deal with this kind of pain, you should prepare a massage ball (golf ball or tennis ball) and step on it symmetrically with your feet to see if there will be some obvious pain points on the affected side. Generally speaking, there will be obvious tenderness points in the painful parts of plantar fascia, so be sure to find out and remember.
Coping with pain
Then, step on the ball with the strength that makes you feel comfortable every day. It is recommended to stand and step, and use your own gravity to roll and press the painful part. Each pain point can be massaged for about 2-3 minutes, usually 5-7 minutes on one side, once a day. If you have time, you can extend each toe to the back, which is better.
Fascia can be reconstructed
Through such treatment, it will be found that the pain in the painful part is gradually relieved, and the symptoms will be relieved simultaneously. Healthy people can also step on the ball to prevent plantar fasciitis. The construction of plantar fascia is slower than muscle reconstruction, and patient persistence can solve the problem.
The term "plantar fasciitis" may be unheard of by more people, and they feel that this disease is very far away from themselves. In fact, this is a very common disease in life, which refers to one of the reasons why people often mention "heel pain". Of course, some places often say "my toes hurt". In other words, I think everyone knows something about this disease. Heel pain, you may understand better. The treatment of this disease mainly includes non-surgical therapy and surgical therapy. Before introducing the treatment method in detail, let's know what kind of disease it is.
Plantar fasciitis is a kind of aseptic inflammatory reaction, which is mainly manifested by repeated micro-injury of plantar fascia and calcaneus. The specific cause of this disease has not been confirmed yet, but it is generally believed that it may be related to standing for a long time, obesity, diabetes and age. The clinical manifestation of the patient is mainly non-persistent pain at the medial calcaneal tubercle. This kind of pain is mainly pulsating tingling, which will be aggravated when you get up in the morning, suddenly stand or walk.
It is generally believed that this disease is a self-healing disease, that is, it can be cured even without treatment. However, in order to avoid the continuous aggravation of the disease caused by accidents and reduce the pain caused by the disease, patients are advised to actively treat it. The non-surgical treatment of the disease mainly includes drug therapy (such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs), extracorporeal shock wave therapy, orthopedic instrument therapy (such as orthopedic insoles) and acupuncture therapy. For long-term (usually considered as 6 months or more) conservative treatment is ineffective, or the pain makes the patient unbearable and seriously affects the quality of life of the patient, surgical treatment can be taken.
