What are the most common treatment and prevention available for Plantar Fasciitis?
The key for the proper treatment of plantar fasciitis is determining what is causing the excessive stretching of the plantar fascia. When the cause is over-pronation, an custom moulded orthotic with rear foot Valgus posting and medial longitudinal arch support is an effective device to reduce the over-pronation and allow the condition to heel. The goal is to get the foot to be in more aligned or “neutral” position of approximately 90 degrees. Over-pronation that stresses the plantar fascia has the foot in more of a Valgus position (foot collapsing inward). Rocker Bottoms are beneficial in the propulsive phase of gait while walking. Rocker Bottoms help do some of the work for the foot and extrinsic muscles during supination so the body can get over the foot with less strain on the plantar fascia.
