Introduction:

Plantar fasciitis can be excruciatingly painful, especially for those constantly on their feet. Traditional treatments offer limited relief. However, class 4 deep tissue laser therapy presents a promising solution for permanent resolution.

Key Takeaways:

  • Plantar fasciitis, a painful foot condition, affects many, especially those who are active or aging.
  • Traditional treatments offer temporary relief but often fail to address the root cause.
  • Class 4 deep tissue laser therapy presents a breakthrough solution, promoting healing and providing lasting relief.

What is an effective treatment for plantar fasciitis?

Class 4 deep tissue laser therapy offers a safe, pain-free, and effective solution for plantar fasciitis, addressing the root cause and promoting healing.

If you haven’t had the misfortune to suffer from plantar fasciitis, it’s probably hard to imagine just how excruciatingly painful this foot condition can be. If, on the other hand, you do suffer with it, you may well be wondering if there is any way to rid yourself permanently from the associated discomfort. That also probably means you haven’t yet discovered the benefits of class 4 deep tissue laser therapy, one treatment that an increasing number of sufferers are turning to, for a permanent resolution to plantar fasciitis.

Who is Susceptible to Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis sufferers are most likely to be people who are on their feet a lot. The condition is actually a form of repetitive use injury, making it common among athletes, runners in particular. You also become more prone to the risk of plantar fasciitis as you age. Being overweight can also contribute to the onset of plantar fasciitis, since carrying extra pounds places extra strain on the plantar fascia ligament when walking. The condition is not limited solely to people in these categories though and it’s possible for anyone to fall prey to the pain and discomfort of plantar fasciitis

The Painful Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

The most common symptom of plantar fasciitis is a stabbing pain in the bottom of the foot, near to the heel. The pain is most likely to be felt on taking your first few steps when you get out of bed in the morning. Similarly, if you rise to your feet after spending a long period sitting or lying down, you are also likely to feel pain. The discomfort tends to abate after you have walked around for a little while, but may intensify again if you stay on your feet for a long time.

Some Treatments you May Have Tried

Plantar fasciitis is a notoriously stubborn condition. There are few single treatments that seem to work well for everyone who has the condition. If you have plantar fasciitis, you might have tried a number of different treatments to try and find a solution, including:

  • Cutting down on activities that exacerbate the pain
  • Massage therapy
  • Orthotics
  • Using ice packs on your heel/s
  • Over the counter pain relievers
  • Steroid injections (cortisone)
  • Night splints
  • A walking cast

The above treatments are among those most commonly applied to try and resolve plantar fasciitis. Some patients manage to find at least some temporary relief from plantar fasciitis pain by undergoing one or more of these methods. However, with advances in technology come occasional breakthrough methods of treating previously hard-to-remedy conditions. One such breakthrough is the use of class 4 deep tissue laser therapy to successfully treat plantar fasciitis.

Treating the Condition, Not Just the Symptoms

Treatments such as corticosteroid injections, ice packs and painkillers are really little more than the equivalent of a Band-Aid on a wound. However, unlike a cut, graze or gash, plantar fasciitis is not likely to heal on its own without some help. Therefore the application of treatments that just help you to manage pain is likely to become a long-term, repetitive and in some cases, expensive exercise. Deep tissue laser therapy, however, can actually give your body the help it needs to successfully heal a damaged plantar fascia. This means you will receive relief from your foot pain and, after a course of several laser treatment sessions, be free of the need for temporary solutions.

Plantar Fasciitis Pain

Deep tissue laser therapy is able to provide early relief from plantar fasciitis pain, reduce inflammation of tissue surrounding the damaged ligament and most importantly, stimulate your body’s ability to repair itself. A powerful, FDA approved laser is used to target the damaged plantar fascia, improving blood flow to the area, increasing oxygenation and stimulating the release of cytochrome oxidase, an important healing enzyme.

In short, the laser treatment process creates the conditions required for your plantar fascia to heal – Something that no other non-invasive method of treatment can achieve. Most patients find that a series of 6-12 treatments over the course of a two to four-week period is sufficient not only to free them from plantar fasciitis pain, but also to physically heal the tiny tears in the ligament that cause the discomfort.

A Safe, Pain and Side-Effect Free Resolution

Each session of laser treatment takes only a few minutes and causes no pain or discomfort. The process has no harmful side effects and can be used to successfully treat the most stubborn cases of plantar fasciitis. This means that even if you might have otherwise been considering a surgical intervention, you have an opportunity to reverse the progress of your plantar fasciitis by taking a far less drastic course of action.

If you have tried a number of treatment methods for your plantar fasciitis without achieving any lasting success, there is a high probability that deep tissue laser therapy will provide the answer. If you have just been diagnosed, you should consider laser therapy as a first approach, to save yourself from cycling between other forms of treatment that may relieve symptoms for a while, but which you may need to rely on for months or possibly even years.
