Plantar Fasciitis - The truth is revealed.
- 1. Guide to:
- 3. 6 months to 1 year or longer*. *Foot & Ankle International, Vol 29, No 3, 358 – 366, 2008
- 6. If you are sitting, driving your car or lying on the couch- no pain.
- 8. The over-whelming majority of people with inner heel pain are 35 – 50 years old.
- 9. The best way to end the pain is to figure out the source of the pain.
- 10. Very strong tendon-like structure on the bottom of your foot. Spans from heel bone to the base of the toes. Function is to provide support to the inner arch of the foot and assists in the walking cycle.
- 11. consists of thousands of very strong fibers that supports the bones of the inner arch and it puts a spring in your step.
- 13. *J Am Pod Med Assoc, Vol 93, No 3, 234 – 237, 2003 Clin Orthop, 266, 186, 1991 Clin Orthop, 332, 170, 1996 Am J Sports Med, 11, 215, 1983
- 16. This leads to over-stretching of the inner band of the plantar fascia. J Foot Ankle Surg, Vol 50, 682 – 686, 2011 Foot & Ankle International, Vol 29, No 3, 358 – 366, 2008 Clin Sports Med, Vol 7, 119 – 126, 1988
- 33. The weakest area of the plantar fascia is just a millimeter or two before it inserts in the heel bone. This is the weakest area of the fascia and where the over-use injury occurs.
- 36. Splints used at night try to prevent the plantar fascia from contracting – but the real damage comes from the over-stretching of the plantar fascia. These devices do not prevent the over-stretching of the plantar fascia while standing, walking or running.
- 37. The plantar fascia is being over- stretched with every step taken. Ice does not address the over- stretching of the inner band of the plantar fascia.
- 38. Only address the symptoms, don’t prevent the ankle bone displacement. Can lead to other side-effects. Should only be considered in additional to other treatments.
- 39. Temporary measure. Can cause more harm than good. The damaged/weakened plantar fascia is temporarily numb. The patient does too much walking, since they are pain free, which leads to more trauma and overstretching of the plantar fascia. Injections could actually lead to complete rupture of the plantar fascia.
- 40. Decreases the strain on the plantar fascia Cannot be left on the foot permanently Adhesive allergy Can’t get it wet, has to be professionally applied Temporary measure More effective for arch pain than heel pain.
- 41. When all else fails, the inner band of the plantar fascia is cut. A major support structure of the foot is now eliminated. This will lead to increased strain to the posterior tibial tendon and eventually that structure will become symptomatic.
- 43. Instantly, stabilizes the ankle bone and has been scientifically proven* to decrease the strain to the inner band of the plantar fascia. Offers a permanent but completely reversible. Will not “wear-out” Not dependent on external factors- shoes, braces, etc. *J Foot Ankle Surg, Vol 50, 682 – 686, 2011
- 44. is the only extra-osseous talotarsal stabilization device that works with the normal biomechanics unlike other devices that work against the normal function and often leading to failure of the device. + = www.HyProCure.com
- 46. www.HyProCure.com Barefoot Arch Support EOTTS Does HyProCure really work? YES!
- 48. The goal is to eliminate the cause, not to mask the symptoms. External measures have significant limitations. The cause is internal and therefore an internal solution is required. HyProCure just makes sense.
