    In this video, we’re going to talk about how to get rid of plantar fasciitis fast.
    Many treatments for plants fasciitis involve pain killers, steroids, orthotics, toxic injections, and serious procedures. However, I’m going to show you some effective home remedies.
    Try these four ways to get rid of plantar fasciitis:
    1. Stretch the opposite muscles
    • Rate your pain from 0 to 10
    • Sit with your foot crossed over your knee
    • Grab your toes and stretch your foot downward (not upward!)
    • Stretch and relax your foot 10 times
    • Rate your pain again from 0 to 10
    2. Avoid all pro-inflammatory foods
    • Reduce refined sugar and carbs
    • Eliminate junk food
    • Avoid refined oils and omega-6 fatty acids (like vegetable oils in salad dressings)
    3. Get more vitamin D3 (10,000 to 20,000IUs daily)
    4. Do intermittent fasting (avoid frequent eating)
    Give these tips a try, and let me know how they work for you in the comments below.

    Dr. Berg I watch you for dietary reasons, but I clicked on this video because I've been suffering from plantars fasciitis since August of of 2023. I've seen a podiatrist who referred me to a physical therpist. I was in physical therapy for 3 months and decided to take a break because the treatments were painful. Since January 2024 I've been walking around with pain. After seeing this video I streteched my foot downward like you suggested and applied pressure to the bottom of my foot messaging it. This was last night. This morning the pain is GONE! 😭 Thank you, Jesus for putting this video infront of me. Dr. Berg this video I will recommend to anyone who suffers from plantar fasciitis. ❤❤❤❤ I realized what was being done to my foot at the physical therapist was the opposite of what you showed in this video. They were stretching my foot upward toward my shin making the pain worse.

      ​@freedomlover6297 I can speak to this 😢 I went 2 years and 4 months now in tremendous pain. Started out with me passing out from pain from central disc protrusion in back causing me to hit back of my head on the toilet, causing post concussion syndrome, misalignment to my C1 atlas vertebrae under my brain stem becoming super dizzy and off balance everyday, couldn't drive for a longggg time, having hip misalignment and twisted ankle when falling to now apparently this foot issue on same foot. I'm guessing since lack of exercise I gained weight causing this foot thing. I'm a lot better than before but it never ends. I'm only 41 but felt like my life was over during the worst days. It was AWFUL. I still cry when I speak of it it was a lot I endured for so long.😢

    I've done this every day since this post and my pain is so low it's like I'm a whole different person. If I feel like I'm in pain I just do the stretches and bam, it's gone.

I did not waste time and went to You Tube looking for your advice on the problem. Every one at home was laughing at me as to why I did not want to go the hospital instead. I had my trust on you and I started doing what you instructed. On day 2 I still felt the pain when I walked, but better. On day 3 much better. On day the pain went away. After two weeks, I became fully, healed and back to my normal physical life! You are God sent.

    I had plantar fasciitis for over 3 years and found no relief until I found out about trigger point therapy. I had trigger points in my calf muscles that were causing my plantar fasciitis. Within a week after starting trigger point therapy I was almost completely pain free. Also you must wear shoes that are wide enough for your toes to splay out. This makes a huge difference also!!!!

    • @sddyck
      @sddyck 2 года назад +6

      Most of the time it's adhesions in the calf putting tension on the heel pulling on the plantar side of the foot. Clear that up and relief is fast.

When you lack severely in magnesium you cannot absorb it well so start with just a pinch in a glass of mineralwater and add a little more the next day if that goes well.

    I watched your videos every morning to help remind me to stay on track with health eating. I was suffering with plantar fasciitis. The first step I took was to begin cutting out sugar as much as possible. My pain level was at an 8. It is now at a 1. I'm so relieved, however bc I was avoiding gluten I begin eating lots of corn tortillas and my pain came back. I didn't give up so I being watching more of your videos and continued to learn more Information about eating. I learned corn was a cause of inflammation.😮 That's when I stopped eating corn all together. I'm still learning more and more each day. Sometimes I will watch the same video two or three times a day bc I always seem to miss something. I was 158 and I'm now 148. I'm grateful that you take time to offer your knowledge to others. Bc of your dedication and effort to teach us. I can now make smarter eating choices not just for me but for my family. I'm very grateful for you. Please know that you're an inspiration to me. I have deep respect for you. Thank you so very much. I appreciate you Dr. 😊

My podiatrist did custom shoe inserts twice, recommended stretches 3 times daily, and as it got worse over the years he then offered anti-inflammatory pills, I didn't take the free sample & didn't get the recommended prescription. It got even worse over the next year, so bad I couldn't get up from the bed or chair without help from my family or crutches. My feet them always hurt, and I dreaded sitting bcz it would even hurt bad while resting. Felt the least painful while on my feet after the first few excruciating steps. I was almost ready to get the injections. He said if that didn't work then surgery was next. But after only 3 days off carbs, I no longer needed help to get up. After 3 weeks off carbs THE PAIN STOPPED COMPLETELY!!! No more limping!!!! It was the starches & sugars all along!!!! At first I was very excited to be cured, but then I got angry bcz the cure was so fast & easy & free, and my doctors didn't tell me. I could have been pain free YEARS ago!! Rrr. My podiatrist didn't even know my feet had gotten that bad bcz I didn't want him trying to get me to do the surgery. It's been almost 3 years no Plantar fasciitis pain in either foot. I used to also have very uncomfortable restless leg syndrome. That disappeared at the same time. A LOT of different kinds of pains & problems stopped or greatly reduced when I switched to mostly KETO & Intermittent Fasting. Bonus, by a year later I lost 60 lbs too & was back to my trim teen weight when I met my husband in 1989! Looked amazing for our first child's wedding in August 2020. The USDA Food Pyramid & doctor recommended eating frequency made me fat & gave me diabetes & many health problems. I think the primary care doctors are in on it with the hospitals to increase ER visits & surgery income, and Big Pharma $$ too.

    I have a job where im on my feet all day, my step counter is between 20,000-30,000 steps, but I have extreme pain that seems to accumulate throughout the week, by friday I can barely walk, I’ve tried everything, cortisone shots, boot for sleeping, custom shoe soles, tried every kind of shoe and sole, saw a physical massage therapist for months, and every doctor and video all told me to do the same exercises where you pull your toes up toward your shins and lifting yourself up on tippytoes etc. nothing worked, just tried what you said to do and pull the opposite way, tried in one foot and got instant relief!!! life has been a living hell for years, I’m going to keep doing it on just one foot so I can see how big the difference is and give an update in 1 month

    I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for 2 years now ,I have😢 tried cortison shots , replaced all my shoes with medicated shoes , insoles and all but no effects honestly my pain had worsened over the time . I was considering the surgery to get rid of this pain it was really frustrating at this point when I came across this video while watching surgical procedures for plantar fasciitis. My husband is a great follower of your videos he said listen to this one. Cut to, It is MAGICAL I did this stretch and believe me I went from limping and dragging my leg to a normal walk in a minute or 2
    Dr Berg I am sending you prayers and immense respect you are a real healer a Godsend really❤ May Allah bless you we need more ppl like you

    I was probably rolling my eyes when i initially began the exercise. I didn't believe a word. Until I realized I wasn't in pain. I cautiously stood up, put a little pressure on my right foot. I'd say 80 percent reduction in pain after the first set of exercises!
    You have my heartfelt gratitude!
    I will be sharing your videos so others can get some relief as well. Thank you!!

      Remember, stretching is only going to get you halfway there. Effective strengthening is the other part of the equation so that plantar fasciitis doesn't return. To do this, buy the Elgin Archxerciser, a household tool used by PTs, Athletic Trainers and professional ballet dancers to fix plantar fasciitis once and for all. Its affordable and it is designed just for fixing PF.

  • @cpnstbn1266
    @cpnstbn1266 9 месяцев назад +4

    This did provide me a measure of relief instantly… I’ve had PF on and off for over 10 years. It sounds common sense now that stretching it when it’s already torn and inflamed will make it worse. But there’s a few important things you’re missing in the video. One main cause of PF is incorrect footwear. The foot is supposed to pronate a certain amount but when your big toe is pushed inward due to narrow shoes , the fascia is strained. You’ve got to have flexible shoes with a wide toe box, and minimal heel. A large heel adds extra strain to your feet. Another useful treatment is the graston technique on your feet/calves/shins. If there’s scar tissue built up restricting movement, it won’t just go away on its own. I found greater instant relief from that than this stretch, but this stretch did help. Thank you for the video.

Avoided eating at restaurants or ordering food for about 1 yr as well and did intermittent fasting or only eating when I'm hungry (dropped 15 pounds since November, I still give in to my cravings sometimes but I measure it so I don't overeat).

    When I tried the exercise, I was not feeling much pain to start with - my plantar fasciitis has improved from acupuncture, so it’s now intermittent. But I can definitely see that this exercise will be helpful when it does act up. Now I know what to do during a long walk or hike, when my foot starts to hurt - sit and do these stretches! I’m already mostly keto/primal, no sugar or processed foods, rarely eat out, organic/free range/grass fed as much as possible. Low carb, but not no carb, so I think my diet is ok. Also threw away bad oils 4 years ago. I increased my Vitamin D after discovering it was around 39 in 2020. I started taking 18,000 to 20,000 IU’s daily, but after 5 weeks, my D level was 106! So I’ve backed off now, taking 3000 x 10,000 per day. Thanks for your videos! I enjoy listening and learning!

    I can not thank you enough for this video. I have just developed this, but I guess I had little hints along the way. Last evening I had to get on a cane and was considering watching Mass from home instead of attending Church because the pain was so very intense. Last evening I was at a ten, I had been stretching the wrong way. This morning I got up, my pain after resting all night was at a 8 yet I was still hobbling around with the cane. After saying a little prayer, your name popped up (I really appreciate all the incredible information you share via RUclips, Thank You) and I clicked on this video. After doing the stretches you directed, I went from an 8 to a 4 IMMEDIATELY! I will stretch again and keep doing them to keep everything in balance. I am also implementing your other key components.

    I accidentally cured my "Plantar Fasciitis" I had for 15 years in my left foot. Podiatrist treated my Plantar fasciitis with shots, straps, Vitamin D, orthopedics, etc. True story Dr. Berg! Long story short, I ended up in the hospital for a week and couldn't eat. After being released, the following day I felt like I broke my big toe on my right foot. Back to the hospital, and they diagnosed Gout. Gave me a shot, prescribed Colchicine, and sent me home. Next day, my big toe pain gone, and my 10 year long agony of 6-8 level pain of plantar fasciitis in my left foot was gone as well.
    I haven't had any plantar Fasciitis pain since..... Turns out kidneys excrete ketones before uric acid. My Uric acid level was 14 (normal is 7).
    Cured the gout, cured the plantar Fasciits.
    It worked for me, YMMV.

    I had Plantar Fasiitis and what it actually is
    Is a tare in the bands that connect from your toes to the back of your heel ! I got a tare from my Martial Arts training. After a while I noticed anytime I threw a kick or tried to run I would feel extreme pain in the bottom of my foot . Especially after waking up in the morning and trying to step out of bed it felt like you’ve stepped on a nail . I went to the doctors office and they told me to stretch my feet but that didn’t do anything . When I went back to the doctor he gave me a Cortisone shot right in the bottom of my heel right where the pain was ! Then the doctor was injecting the Cortisone slowly moving the needle in a circular movement ., the pain was excruciating and I was seeing stars . After getting the shot I felt instant relief and I felt like going dancing ! As soon as I went back to my Martial Arts classes and threw my first kick , the pain came right back . I said these doctors don’t know how to cure this ! I decided to try google and asked if anyone has ever been cured of Plantar Faciitis and then I found my cure and it worked ! The cure was simple . I went to a hardware store and bought Gorilla Tape and wrapped my foot with the tape over my sock , not to tight , you don’t want to cut off your circulation in your foot . Just make it snug . You wrap the tape under your Arch and over the top of your foot . As soon as I taped my foot I was able to walk again , run and jump and kick . I continued to wrap my foot for three months and the tare was healed and never had Plantar Faciitis again ! I went back and told the doctor and he was amazed ! So to anybody that’s suffering from this , Get the Gorilla Tape and wrap your feet and you will be cured ! My friends wife suffered from this and I told him about the Tape and she was cured !
