What's Causing Your Plantar Fasciitis?

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- When it comes to foot pain, there is a self-diagnosis I hear within my clinic far more often than one might expect. What makes this particular self-diagnosis so interesting to me is that, usually, the patient is 100% correct. However, the methods that have possibly been suggested by their healthcare provider may not be so.
I am speaking of the diagnosis Plantar Fasciitis, and in this video we’ll be going through exactly what causes it, and the best methods in order to both treat it, and prevent it from coming back.

Finally, a video about Pf that actually makes sense. You covered it all.
Happy you think so & hope it can be of use to you :)
One of the best anatomical explanations of PF I’ve seen, thank you.
So glad you think so! Happy to have been of help :)
Thank you for giving exercises for the foot muscles! Been searching all over for all various helps, this fills in the blanks
Always happy to help :D remember to like/subscribe for more videos like this!
Had this for 2 years was agony, thankfully when i wasn't working in 2020 it settled down, i have always worked on my feet for decades and think that caused mine.
Thank you for the tip. I have this condition and overweight. I know what actions I need to take to help.
Glad to have been helpful for you :)
I have been practicing hot yoga at 105*F for 90 mins a day for the last two months and its really helped get my heel spurs and PF under control.
Happy to hear you have found a method that works for you!
What type.of ypga.u r doing pls. I also.got.problem.like u thks
@@boonengsaw4838 Bikram yoga. Also known as 26 plus 2.
@@forestdweller512 I feel the urge to caution that, because hot yoga has worked for forest dweller, it is not necessarily translatable to BoonEng Saw. I am very happy that it has worked, however I have also heard of cases of plantar fasciitis actively worsening due to the increased temperatures. Inflammation (as can be present in plantar fasciitis) can actually be worsened/promoted by increased temperatures. This is why we suggest to ice "fresh" injuries - when inflammation is at its highest point.
Ofcourse, I am all for trying things twice (once to get over the initial awkwardness/learn how to do it, again to actually do it properly). If you find that hot yoga works for you, AWESOME - keep it up. But if it WORSENS the condition, consider non-hot yoga alternatives.
Always welcoming a new perspective on this almost untreatable condition. I think this is a complex problem and requires a whole body approach, however that aside the biggest problem is the diagnosis. Inflammation vs dead (dying) tissue caused by poor blood supply. Lots of scar tissue in the area due to the constant injury and re-injury and the chronic version of this problem requires more than just stretching and exercise. While scraping is widely used, it's still not enough for chronic cases that require heavy stimulation deep in the tissue that thumbs and massage machines cannot release. Someone asked me if putting a cast on a broken leg makes the leg stronger or weaker? Sure arch supports serve a purpose, however they should be temporary aid. The design of footwear is questionable and highly debated, personally barefoot minimalist shoes makes more sense but again if someone is unfit and overweight then maybe arch supports are a good idea to use while getting the body more lean and fit. It's a VERY hard thing to cure and best of luck to everyone trying to figure it out.
Thank you for the comment and thoughts!
As always, being lean & fit is beneficial from a health perspective in just about every bodily system - including musculoskeletal. That being said, plantar fasciitis can happen to anyone regardless of body weight/type, which can make it very frustrating to just about any profile of patient.
Severity of cases can vary. From being unable to walk to only mild discomfort, the intensity of symptoms and arguably more important the degree of impact that the condition has on the patient's day-to-day life are used as guidance when determine appropriate interventions, up to and including surgery (not usually recommended unless conservative approaches have failed following a 1 year mark).
That being said, the majority of PF patients respond very well to conservative care - for which being educated on the topic is a pillar of. Chronic cases in older patients, as you could imagine, take longer to respond.
Ideally, we want our body to be able to support our body. To that end, orthotics are useful from a symptoms-based perspective (pain control), and not necessarily from a causative-one. That's where structured rehabilitation and lifestyle modification reigns king.
@@DrAdamCSolis Thanks for the reply. I am 46, active, fit and was avidly hiking, running and playing tennis until get hit with this problem over 3 years ago. While I have responded well to the treatments (and I have tried them all), there is a difference between good-enough and healed. I guess I am just wanting my youth back lol. I am determined to 100% eliminate it and play tennis and be active into my old age. I mean I could play tennis or jog now, however the pain will come the next day. Even after 3+ years and tons of attention to treating the issue, I am still determined to heal it 100% without any surgery.
@@bitcoinbuyscar7875 The best thing I can recommend is to keep at it and stay optimistic. Seek out new opinions from other qualified healthcare practitioners for new strategies that you may have not employed yet (which seems to be exactly what you are doing). Keep going - you still have some "youth" remaining, yet :P
If you live near a bikram yoga studio I recommend giving it a try. I have been practicing daily for the last 2 months and feeling mostly pain free. When I first started I could barely walk barefoot around the yoga studio but after a few weeks I started to not notice any pain from my heel spurs and PF.
@@forestdweller512 Interesting.....I have done yoga but need to see what bikram yoga is specifically. Either way probably need to do it to stay young, plus I am not convinced PF is isolated to the foot and calf only so something for the whole body is ideal. Thanks for the message.
My guess is because the plantar fascia is very important for both the arch structure itself, and for bouncing of said structure, that it experiences the most stress and remodeling of any ligament in the body. So more of a symptom of limited repair/maintenance ability maybe.
Catch 22 on ligament repair seems to be you have to use it or lose it, so finding a balance of properly engaging the fascia without tearing it further seems to be needed in the repair process? Not using your feet for a while when there isn’t damage is not a problem, but it seems the body needs forces guidance on how to repair ligaments so they need to be used somewhat during recovery.
That toe scrunching exercise sounds like a good idea, mine are pretty weak
Yup. Your tendons are re tearing while they are healing. Hurts like hell !!!
Definitely one of the less-fun scenarios that patients come in with :/
I woke up last November with insane pain in both feet. My left foot got better on it's own in a few weeks but my frustration is over 3 months later my right foot pain is still almost unbearable.
I am sorry you are dealing with this! Reach out to a trusted healthcare provider and see if they are able to help you. Highly recommend an evidence-based chiropractor (obviously bias), but ensure that whoever you are seeing actually examines/puts their hands on your feet and does something about it. It is alarming how many patients I see for PF who comment that I am the first to "actually examine their feet" - event after seeing a physiotherapist & podiatrist (foot doc)!
If you happen to live within the GTA, I would be happy to examine you myself.
Re pot the tree. Mix 50 50 potting soil vermiculite. Also younger to feed every 3 months pick up small bag of fertilizer at the nursery. This may help also is your pot draining? And while changing the potting soil look at the roots if the are pressed up against the side of the pot it may need more room.
THANK YOU FOR THIS! I fertilized Yuki a few days after I published this video and 2 days later he looked like he was getting a second life back in him. That being said, I'll likely still need to repot him soon. He is draining, yes, although I hope it's enough. There's a sort of filter-stand that the pot sits on top of (that's probably a terrible description but I'm not a plant doc lol).
Have a great week!

That's a
