Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis is a common condition in adults. The main symptom is pain on the bottom of your foot, around your heel and arch. The pain usually occur with the first few steps in the morning and also at the beginning of daily activity.
Iontophoresis is an innovative technique in treatment of Plantar Fasciitis, that uses a small electricity current to deliver therapeutic medications through the skin barrier and into the affected area. It’s commonly used to target inflamed areas in need of treatment. Few sessions of Iontophoresis reduce pain and inflammation. Studies have shown clinically relevant improvements in plantar fasciitis symptoms using iontophoresis treatment and acetic acid. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2465091/).
“Conclusions - Six treatments of acetic acid iontophoresis combined with taping gave greater relief from stiffness symptoms than, and equivalent relief from pain symptoms to, treatment with dexamethasone/taping. For the best clinical results at four weeks, taping combined with acetic acid is the preferred treatment option compared with taping combined with dexamethasone or saline iontophoresis. “
If you’re experiencing heel pain, consult a foot healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
THE EARLY INTERVENTION LEADS TO FASTER SYMPTOM RESOLUTION.
