Arch Pain & Heel Spurs

Most heel pain is caused by plantar fascitis, a stress injury reminiscent of carpal tunnel syndrome or tennis elbow. This pain affects the plantar fascia, a ligament extending from the heel bone to the ball of the foot - or arch of your foot. The plantar fascia supports the arch of your foot as well as sustains your weight when walking or running. You may feel soreness throughout the ligament and depending on the severity of your case you may be able to relieve some pain via massage, rest and/or stretching. In more advanced cases, treatments such as splinting, taping or physical therapy may be needed to alleviate the pain caused by this type of injury.

Foot & Ankle Injuries

Foot & Ankle injuries are quite common and can occur on a daily basis. Broken bones, dislocations, sprains, contusions and other serious injuries can happen anytime or anywhere - at home, work, gym, exercising, or while playing sports. Early detection and treatment is very important and could affect the overall success of the injury's treatment. When you visit our office we will be able to diagnose and propose the best treatment available for your situation.

Tendonitis

Tendoinitis is a common injury caused from the repetitive and overuse of the posterior tibial tendon. The posterior tibial tendon supports the arch of the foot and prevents you from rolling your feet. Some signs that you are suffering from tendonitis is tingling, burning and shooting pains in your foot. Your instep may become inflamed also. The treatment plan for this condition depends on how severe your case is. The most common treatment plan includes rest, ice and compression. We will recommend that you stay off your feed as much as possible and refrain from engaging in sports. Anti-inflammatory medicine can be prescribed. If your case is extreme, surgical treatments may be required to repair the damage done to the tendon.

Burstis

Bursae are small, slippery sacs in our joints that assist with the sliding of our muscles and tendons along our bones. Burstis is the swelling of one of these sacs. Overuse or constant pressure on the knee causes the bursa to fill with fluid and become irritated, gritty and rough. As the bursta swells, it causes friction in other parts of the joint thus causing additional pain.

Burstis commonly occurs in the kneecap (prepatellar burstis) and the pes anserine or "goosefoot" bursa. Located about two inches below the knee where the shinbone meets three inches from the hamstrings. Pes anserine commonly affects runners and athletes as well as sufferers of osteoarthris. Symptoms include pain in the inside of the knee or at the top of the shinbone. This pain can increase with exercise and excessive stair-climbing. Prepatellar burstis affects those whose jobs involve long kneeling, athletes whose sports involve frequent falling or being struck in the knee, people who have been in a car accident or who have rheumatoid arthritis or gout. Symptoms include pain after activity and tenderness on the kneecap.
