Plantar Fasciitis is a pain in the foot.

And now we can help at ‘Dr Steve’s Redcliffe Wellness’.

What we learn at University is changing. So we did the foot levelers course, the extremity lower leg course, went to Dallas, Texas for gait control course and then Zurich, Switzerland for re- modelling & nutrients, then Brain Injury Course for concussed people who develop the staggered gait reflex.

Then we installed computer analysis foot machines and bought the best we could afford for Redcliffe people

We don’t replace your doctor or podiatrist, what we work on is the points of foot pain.

What is plantar fasciitis?

https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/plantar-fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a piece of strong, thick tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It connects the heel bone to the toes, creating the arch of the foot. Also called Policeman’s Heel.

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain and can develop as a result of overstretching, overuse or a medical condition.

Plantar fasciitis is often associated with a heel spur, a spike of bone poking out from the heel bone, although many people have heel spurs without any pain.

What are the symptoms of plantar fasciitis?

The main symptom of plantar fasciitis is pain under the heel, which can be dull or sharp. The foot sole may ache or burn and the heel may be slightly swollen.

The pain is often worse:

• in the morning, as you take your first steps
• after prolonged standing or sitting
• after intense activity

What causes plantar fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis can be caused by:

• playing sports and doing activities that put stress on the heel bone, such as running, dance and aerobics
• being flat-footed or having high arches
• being middle-aged or older
• being overweight
• pregnancy
• spending a lot of time on your feet
• wearing shoes with poor arch support or stiff soles
• having tight calf muscles

Our success presently is we can help 8 out of 10 people we assess on the first day when they have a biomechanics or neuro-muscular condition, if we accept your case, those we help get to walk without pain, reduced pain or more endurance thru pain. You must specify what your coming with assessment for plantar fasciitis principally as the protocol is different than our normal back ache and headache.
