Filter by:Standard treatments of plantar fasciitis include stretching exercises of the posterior muscle chain and plantar fascia, taking anti-inflammatories, cortisone infiltration or biostimulation with physical therapies (low energy laser therapy, shock waves, ultrasound therapy, etc.). In non-responsive forms to conservative treatments, surgical treatment can be undertaken. Laser therapy is indicated for plantar fasciitis, in particular for its biological anti-inflammatory, anti-edema and reparative effects on the plantar fascia; to date, the potential effects also on the underlying bone edema component, when present, which aggravates and self-maintains the ongoing pathology are not known.
The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of gastrocnemius stretching exercises on plantar heel pain intensity, foot mobility, and function in patients with plantar fasciitis.
Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is a rare musculoskeletal disorder characterized by inflammation and thickening of the fascia, leading to pain, stiffness, and functional impairment. Conventional treatment options include immunosuppressive medications, corticosteroids, and physical therapy. This case report will describe use of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) using the Mectronic Exand MY high-intensity laser system in a patient with EF, highlighting its potential as an alternative or adjunct treatment option.

Although no single treatment has shown superiority, short-term pain relief may be offered via a targeted local corticosteroid injection (CSI), used often in combination with local anesthetic (LA), which may reduce plantar fasciitis symptoms for up to 1 month. Moreover, administering a CSI is relatively quick and easy for any Provider to perform, though it is not without potential deleterious side effects and risks, including fibroblast degradation, fat pad atrophy, skin depigmentation, and even plantar fascia rupture.
Both shock wave therapy and low level laser therapy in plantar fasciitis are effective in improvement of such cases without any side effects but there are no previously published studies on the use of shock wave therapy versus low level laser therapy in plantar fasciitis and, hence, evidence of its acceptability and effectiveness compared with each other remains to be established.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of j stroke myofascial release on planter fascia versus ischemic release on gastrocnemius in patients with planter fasciitis.
The goal of this study is to determine whether improving foot strength through foot exercises and minimal footwear can provide improved outcomes over the short and long term. The main research question it aims to answer is: Can the minimal footwear intervention be used to improve the health of aging adults with plantar fasciitis?? Participants will be randomized into 2 groups. One group will receive minimal shoes and foot strengthening and foot flexibility exercises. The other group will receive supportive shoes, foot orthotic device and foot flexibility exercises. Participants' step count will also be monitored. Researchers will compare pain and physical function between the minimal footwear (MF) and the foot orthotic (FO) groups at each of the follow-up sessions.
