Filter by:Patients with plantar fasciitis between the ages of 25-65 years who presented to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinic with the complaint of heel pain and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included in the study. Demographic data (age, gender, body mass index, symptom duration) will be recorded at the beginning of the study. Then, Foot Functional Index (FFI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scales will be recorded. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 will receive dry needling and Group 2 will receive extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). Patients in the 1st group will undergo 3 sessions of dry needling with Seirin branded 0.6*50 mm acupuncture needles at one week intervals for the trigger point detected by manual palpation in the medial gastrocnemius, lateral gastrocnemius, soleus, flexor digitorum brevis, quadratus plantae, abductor hallucis brevis muscles. Patients in the 2nd group, Patients in this group received three sessions of ESWT (MASTERPLUS MP 200 ENERGY 2 trademarked ESWT device) at an energy density of 2 bars and a frequency of 2,000 shocks/min at 12 Hz for three weeks, each session once a week. Each of the five most sensitive and painful points was given 400 pulses in the supine position
The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of local ozone injection and dextrose prolotherapy applications on pain and foot functions to compare the efficacy and to evaluate the thickness of the plantar fascia.
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.
