    Heel pain can be caused by a number of different conditions including heel spurs, degradation of the plantar fascia, fat pad contusion, stress fracture, compressed nerves, or inflamed bursas.
    Heel Spurs - bony growths that occur at the attachment of the plantar fascia to the heel bone.
    Degradation of the plantar fascia -- this degradation of the collagen fibres is commonly referred to as plantar fasciitis. Once thought to be an inflammatory condition, plantar fasciitis is now thought to be caused by dysfunction near the attachment site.
    Fat Pad Contusion -- caused by intense or repetitive impact. These conditions can cause the fat pad to be pushed away leaving less of a protective layer between the bones in the foot and the ground.
    Stress Fracture -- very common in road runners, a stress fracture of the heel bone can be identified by re-creating the pain by squeezing the back of the heel.
    Compressed Nerves -- there are many important nerves that travel along the bottom of the foot. There are also multiple bones that form the foot. When these nerves get in between these bones and become "pinched" there is a great deal of pain involved.
    Inflamed Bursas -- bursas are small sacs of fluid that provide cushion and reduce friction between bones. When these sacs become inflamed they grow in size and cause pain.
    KT Tape has been very helpful for general heel pain through its ability to provide support without limiting mobility. KT Tape proprioceptive benefits trigger positive reactions from the tissue involved in creating the pain. By creating surface tension on the skin over the area needing support, KT Tape creates a light, comfortable support structure that relieves pain and facilitates mobility. Relieving pain helps to alleviate the risk of compensation injuries and promote the healing process.
    Proper diagnosis of the source of your pain is vital to creating a treatment plan to reduce pain and improve function. Your professional medical provider has the tools and expertise to diagnose and develop a treatment plan for your specific condition.

    It's hard to say. Each injury is different, but this should help you get through your upcoming sporting events with little or no pain. If you wear it while you compete you'll notice the difference. Leave it on for 3-7 days and it will also aid in the healing process.

    Remember, the tape is applied to the backing with some stretch in it, so when laying down the anchors take that into consideration.

      There are several factors in curing for plantar foot. One resource I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Rohon Foot Care (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the most incredible treatment that I have ever heard of.Check out the extraordinary information .

    I'm having some really bad heel pain in both feet. It started months ago and has got so bad I hate having to do anything on my feet. I took a week off work and it did help some, but after one night back at work the pain is returning to severe again. I've tried different shoes, different padding/heel cups, and taping. So far nothing has worked. The pain is in the heel or where the tendon connects to the heel and pressure against the outside edges of the heel will also cause a sharp pain. After eight hours on my feet at work, it is unbearable. When I get home I first apply ice to reduce any swelling/inflammation and then I apply heat. The heat actually feels the best but I keep hearing that heat can make it worse. I seen a general practitioner and he wasn't any help. He just said I may need to see a specialist.

    My daughter is 8 and she is a 100 meter sprinter. After her training session yesterday she started to get heel pain in her left heel. Her trainer noted potential severs disease hence the heel pain. Can this type of strapping help with healing and also pain reduction for her?
    I have iced for 20 mins at a time but she still feel discomfort. In saying so the injury it still pretty recent.

  • @KTTapevideos
    @KTTapevideos  12 років тому +1

    Yes,
    Average age of onset is between 8 and 14 years of age.
    Conservative management can include taping. If you'd like to see the app go to the forum on our website and search 'severs disease'. I'd post a link but UA-cam prevents it.
    We will be re-posting this app soon with an improved but very similar tape method as what you see above. thx

    I`m a nurse and a plantar pain patient for a few years. I got plantar fasciitis treatment method , Sαnzoka Mula (Go ogle it) and a couple of days of adhering to it my pain is completely over. I don’t experience the condition any more since I stop utilizing meds and it`s simple to see whether there`s still any pain remaining. .
