Fasciitis Night
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick piece of connective tissue runs from the bottom of the heel to the base of the toes.
Thus the condition develops …
Repetitive trauma leads up micro tears in the fascia. Common causes, including a sudden increase in physical activity, wearing shoes without support the vault of acute injury, and prolonged standing. Excess weight can be a contributing factor.
Symptom classic pain in the heel with the first steps in the morning and after a period of rest. The pain improves with activity, but returned after prolonged weight bearing, especially at the end of the day. The pain is usually located in the bottom of the heel, but sometimes radiates to the arc.
Four conditions that mimic plantar fasciitis are the tarsal tunnel syndrome (compression of the tibial nerve), the entrapment of the first part of the nerve plantar side, a stress fracture of the calcaneus (heel bone), and pain from a pinched nerve in his lower back. Electrical studies as electromyograms and nerve conduction tests can help diagnosis.
The diagnosis is suspected on history and physical examination and can be confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or diagnostic ultrasound.
Treatment of plantar fasciitis is conservative at first, composed of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), splints, plantar fascia night, well-cushioned shoes, heel or heel cups, orthotics, and Physical Therapy. The stretching of the plantar fascia of the heel bone and is often beneficial.
Other treatments who have had some success include heel lifts and short leg casts.
While cortisone injections are often used for plantar fasciitis, they should be avoided if possible. Relief is temporary and the footpad will atrophy. In addition, the rupture of the plantar fascia may also occur.
Therapy by extracorporeal shock wave generates sounds at high pressure seems to relieve pain of soft tissue. How this works a device is not yet fully understood. Theories include the formation of new blood vessels or possibly damage the fibers pain sensory. It takes about six months before maximum improvement is noted.
While surgery is an option, it is not good. The types of surgeries performed fasciotomy include endoscopic removal heel spurs and plantar fascia release. Debates among surgeons about the advantages of endoscopic approaches versus open approaches are common. Both groups claim a better than 90 per cent success. The recovery time varies from three to 10 months in most series.
A more effective treatment seems to be the use the percutaneous tenotomy. This is a procedure where a needle is inserted using ultrasound guidance and the fascia is irritated, to stimulate inflammation. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is a concentrate of the patient's blood contains a large number of platelets, is then injected into site. Platelets contain many healing and growth factors. When they are introduced into an area of injury to a cascade of events occurs, including healing and tissue regeneration.
Physiotherapy can be started slowly about a week ten days after the procedure.
In our hands, the success rate, including patients who failed all other forms of treatment was excellent.
