A Comparison of ThermaWedge™ Device and Achilles Tendon Stretching for the Treatment of Plantar Fasciopathy

Plantar Fasciitis Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Comparison of ThermaWedge™ Device and Achilles Tendon Stretching for the Treatment of Plantar Fasciopathy

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators will compare Achilles tendon stretching with a new product called a ThermaWedge™ device, a foam wedge designed to help with certain foot stretches and exercises, in the treatment of chronic plantar fasciopathy. There will be 2 groups each of 25 - 30 participants who have chronic plantar fasciopathy, which is a common cause of foot pain. Exercises will be done for 6 weeks and then each group will do the other exercise protocol for another 6 weeks. Participants will fill out the Foot and Ankle Disability Index scale and numerical analog pain scale and the Global Rating of Change Scale prior to any treatment, weekly during treatment and post treatment. The investigators' hypothesis is that use of the ThermaWedge™ device will result in decreased pain and disability when compared to achilles tendon stretching.
