The treatment of Heel pain by Peter Rose
HEEL PAIN
Our heels take a huge amount of punishment every day of our lives. From our first steps to old age we put a load on out heels. So it is no surprise that so many of us suffer from heel pain. Here are the four main causes.
PLANTER FASCIITIS
symptoms include:
Acute pain under the heel and around the back of the heel.
Walking and standing problems.
Particularly aggressive pain when first walking after getting out of bed.
There's a pad of fibrous tissue and fat - the medical term for this combination is fascia - that runs from the heel to the ball of each foot. This supports the metatarsal bones like string to a bow. Sometimes small tears appear in the pad which become inflamed. This usually happens near or at the point where the pad is attached to the heel. Wearing high heels or suddenly become more active can cause Planter Fasciitis, being over weight makes it more likely to occur. Planter Fasciitis is also associated with what used to be called Flat feet.
SOLUTIONS:
1. Magnetic Insoles can often ease the pain somewhat, and can certainly accelerate the healing process.
The 100 Plus Magnetic Insoles are the best and if walking is a problem can be worn easily in a pair of socks during the night.
2. The Magnetic Metatarsal Support can help by giving support to the damaged tissue.
3. Doing 'standing press ups' against a wall or banister will stretch the calf muscles and ease the heel bone 'calcareous' and allow
the reconnecting healing to progress.
4 Wearing specially made insoles from a Professional Paediatrician.
HEEL SPUR
Symptoms include:
Continuous pain at the back of the heel.
Pain that can become so severe it feels as if all the heel is affected it is continuous.
Worse when wearing shoes and walking.
It gets slowly worse over time
It is caused is a growth on the bone itself. Almost like a callus enlarging the bone.
SOLUTIONS:
This requires an X ray to determine the extent and usual surgery to remove the spur
BURSITIS
Symptoms include:
Pain around and under heel
Swelling and redness around the heel.
Some lessening of the pain during resting. i.e sitting with the feet raised, so they are level with the waist
Pain worse when standing or walking
Bursitis is an inflammation of a bursa; which is a small sac of fibrous tissue that is lined with synovial membrane and filled with fluid, these are to allow movement. There are two versions of bursa around the heel area, one in a superficial bursa located under the skin and another in a deep bursa located between the tendon and the calcaneus. Inflammation in either can be very painful.
SOLUTIONS:
1. Magnetic Insoles can often ease the pain somewhat, and can certainly accelerate the healing process.
The 100 Plus Magnetic Insoles are the best and if walking is a problem can be worn easily in a pair of socks during the night.
2. Rest, using heel wedges use of Magnetic Insoles, use Magnetic ankle Chain round the ankle.
3. Anti inflammatory medication and in very short term pain killers.
PRESSURE INJURY
Symptoms include
Sudden sharp pain, usually from known cause
The flesh covering the heel bone both from the back and underneath is relatively thin and so it is easy to squash this flesh between any hard object and the bone, thus causing damage and pain
SOLUTIONS
1)Magnetic Insoles can often ease the pain somewhat, and can certainly accelerate the healing process.
The 100 Plus Magnetic Insoles are the best and if walking is a problem can be worn easily in a pair of socks during the night.
2) Rest, i.e sitting with the feet raised, so they are level with the waist
3) Using ferrite 800 spot magnets either side of the heel in the narrow part behind the ankle about 2 or 3 centimetres from the bottom of the heel.
4) Anti inflammatory medication and in very short term pain killers.
CONCLUSION.
If suffering from heel pain and you do not have an obvious cause, it is wise to get X ray examination to establish if any of the structure has been broken, this is especially wise when there has been any sort of trauma injury. It can also show if a spur growth is present and needs surgical removal. Magnetic Therapy can assist in pain relief and speed recovery.Go to http://www.magnetictherapy.co.uk for information on all the Magnetic aids to recovery. You will also find free articles showing specific uses of magnets when dealing with pain. You can also enrol in an on line course in magnetic therapy at this web site.
