Non-surgical methods of treating heel pain

  Sometimes it doesn’t hurt when I walk, sometimes it hurts and I don’t dare to walk hard, what is this disease? How can I cure it?  If you stand or walk a lot like a soldier, teacher or supermarket cashier, then you probably have plantar fasciitis. Acute or chronic injury to the plantar fascia due to the long-term effects of overload pressure is the main cause of heel pain. The most common cause is frequent prolonged walking including activities such as hiking and fitness, hiking, and shopping at stores, which can easily cause chronic injury to the plantar aspect of the foot for several days in a row, leading to plantar fasciitis. Patients with heel pain should first have an x-ray taken to rule out fractures or bone spurs and to make a clear diagnosis of plantar fasciitis.  Non-surgical methods of treating heel pain 1, buy insoles for shoes The use of insoles with arch support can evenly distribute the pressure on the bottom of the patient’s foot, which can effectively reduce the tension on the plantar fascia when the lower limb is under weight, thus reducing the damage to the plantar fascia from repeated pulling. Promote the wearing of sports shoes or soft-soled shoes, slope heel shoes, avoid wearing flat shoes, hard-soled shoes and flip-flops.  2, 3 professional exercises to promote recovery (1) towel stretching heel: stretching exercises 2 to 3 times a day: sitting on the floor, barefoot, knees taut, with a towel hanging on the toes, pull back, each group of 10, the action can be repeated.  (2) hand pushing wall exercise: lean against the wall to open the upper arm forward to shoulder height, press the wall with the palm of your hand, when bending one knee to the wall push, keep the other knee straight; and in bending the knee cover slowly lean forward, try to keep the heel flat on the ground, in feeling the Achilles tendon and the arch of the foot with tension, hold this position for 10 seconds, and then relax, upright.  (3) Stand on the steps: stand with your heels hanging in the air, stand with your forefeet on the steps to maintain balance, slowly lower your heels until you start to feel the calf muscles pulling, hold this position for 10 seconds, then stand up and repeat the action.  You should do exercises with a combination of high intensity and low intensity exercises. Once acute pain occurs in the Achilles tendon, a four-step therapy of resting the affected area, icing, compressing bandages and elevating the affected area can be used.
