So I went to see a new podiatrist for a toenail injury and mentioned I’m recovering from 18 mos of plantar fasciitis. She sent me home with a list of treatments that I had NEVER heard from the 3 other podiatrists I’d seen (all of whom opted for invasive and expensive treatments) So far so good! Her list: 1. Leg length discrepancy test. Basically an X-ray of both legs to see if they are slightly different lengths. She can fix this with a small orthotic lift. I have not had the X-ray yet. 2. Heating pad to calf 10 min the rolling pin to calf 2 min. 3. Compression socks (Amazon). Not too ugly. 4. Nitro patch (prescription). Cut into ¼ piece and wear on heel 10-12 hours. 5. NO heel raise exercises. (Shortens the calf muscle- who knew!) continue calf stretches. 6. Continue ART and Graston. I am confident she knows what she’s doing and I’m also angry that I spent time, money, pain and energy on steroid injections, shockwave treatments, ointments, supplements, splints, boots, dry needling (thickens fascia!!!). But I do like my orthotics. Not saying this will work for everyone but my fasciitis was likely caused by shin splints and weak ankles. Better everyday!
