My secret weapopn for plantar fasciitis is the video called Wednesday Break. Check it out.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hope it helps!

Glad you found the video useful. ✌

Hi, i hope Dr Fabio's advice helped you. Could you share your experience and how is the pain now?

Thanks!

Very cool!

Did you do the marathon?

Had it for 3 yrs. Tried every shoe on the market with no relief until I went barefoot and zero drop shoes. My PF is 90% gone.

@@pash9956 I did! 2h and 6 min on the half marathon. It was proper painful, but I managed

@@mgw4205 Did you do anything else for it? I’ve had PF for a decade. Have tried literally everything, and also a lot of walking in zero drop shoes and barefoot when all traditional methods failed me.

Thanks for the succinct comment!

@@DrDeFabio Thank you for helping out people, like me, with our problems. May you have continued success and God Bless.

@Jason Smith, this video has nothing to do with chiropractic. He mentioned 'chiropractic' at the end of the video, but the technique he showed us was myofascial release. It looked effective. but if you go to a chiropractor, they're going to try to align the vertebrae in your spine. Most of them probably won't even do this sort of myofascial release massage. Probably better to search for a massage therapist or physical therapist who's willing to use this sort of technique.

Follow IG; Iamjzaire and i'll put you on to the products that got me off crutches and orthopedic boots.

We’re meant to be barefoot, there’s no arch support in bare feet only your natural arch.

It's actually the volume injected that's the real source of pain, 3ml or so which may seem like nothing but it's 1/2 teaspoon or more into what is normally a tight space so the sudden increase in pressure into a solid piece of your foot is what really causes the pain, neither then needle or the medication. As soon as the lidocaine or other local anaesthetic kicks in that pain will go, but as it's done as a single shot with the cortisone mixed in with the local, the kicker is the sudden volume increase. I had shots in the front of my feet for Morton's neuroma but also get PF on and off and have orthotics which do help. I go barefoot indoors though as my cat is always getting stepped on otherwise and I hate having anything constricting on my feet so that probably doesn't help things. Always stretch your calves, no matter what. At least 3-4 days a week, like forever. I try to remember by doing it when I'm brushing my teeth. Electric toothbrush has 4 x 30 second cycles to do your mouth quadrants so I do stretches for 30sec each side and also do about 6-8 ankle raises, holding the wall with the hand I'm not brushing with! Be sure to do both upper and lower calves though!

Deltoid IM injections are a bit different as there's no bones and fewer nerves there so you don't feel as much pain as the sudden surge of volume expansion in the tight spaces of the feet! For the exercises I mentioned , just look for "Plantar Fascia Standing Heel Raises" and combine that with "Plantar Fascia Standing Calf Stretch (gastrocnemius and soleus muscles)" both from NHS Ayrshire and Arran as they are the simplest to keep doing regularly as a preventative to keep PF and ankle tightness in check. At first though you may need to do more intensive daily routines and also do the under-foot rolling to stretch and massage the plantar fascia themselves but I find the standing calf and heel stretches and raises are something I can keep doing regardless of pain and it helps ensure the calves don't get tight again! Disclaimer - I'm not a podiatrist or physical therapist, but I used to be a pharmacist before chronic illness made me retire from that, so the different types of injections, their volumes and routes of administration is something I do understand, plus I've had personal experience of steroid shot in my feet and had deep IM hormone depot injections when I was younger. The latter definitely did not hurt like the feet ones did! I also have 5+ years experience of PF and Achilles tendinopathy and have seen a physical therapist intensively to help with the feet issues and seen several podiatrists for gait assessment/orthotics etc and found what was easy to manage as preventative exercises ongoing. A lot of people (myself included) usually stop doing daily physical therapy exercises when the acute pain goes away. You do have to keep up the stretching to the calves especially, as otherwise it is bound to recur! I also found the video very interesting re: taping - not something I've tried myself but I will definitely investigate should I have further, more severe PF and refer myself back to see the physical therapist! :) The stretching and massage elements I was already aware of through my own research and experience! I never had cortisone shots for my ankles or PF though, I think you can probably manage without if you see a PT and get appropriate exercises and also suitable orthotic inserts! Hope you find lasting relief!

@@MargevonMarge That's interesting how you explained the issue of VOLUME in regard to the shots in the foot. That makes sense. I do know that different areas of the body are limited to how much you can inject into them. I thank you for your explanation on stretching the calf muscles. I've done some massage therapy on myself, pushing inward on the Achilles tendon and had a little bit of success here. I've had 2-3 people mention about rolling my foot over a cold water bottle. I hear that this may need to be done a few times a day. What's really funny is that it's uncomfortably cold only for maybe a half a minute or so. The foot seems to QUICKLY adapt to this, and it's no longer too uncomfortable. I tend to roll on this while watching the news. As for stretching the calve muscles, this is also great for helping to prevent Charlie horses upon waking up. If I catch a Charlie horse coming on, I QUICKLY stretch this, which feels counterintuitive. However, I found it VERY CRITICAL to keep trying to stretch this, for this greatly limits the damage caused by the Charlie horse. It can also knock the resulting pain down by about half. Anyway, may God's pace be with you--in the name of Jesus! As for PF and Charlie horses, may those be transferred to the devil and made at least 10-100 times worse! From John Nozum

I've had a cortisone shot in my right foot 15 years ago. It was the most painful thing ever. The needle to inject the anesthesia was the killer because the Dr kept moving it around through that area. Just horrific. It ended up helping but God, was very painful and I'm a big dude that has decent pain tolerance

@@BillBene67 I thank you for sharing your horror story with us. I'm sorry to hear that it was hellishly painful for you getting this injection. That sounds more like something fit for the devil himself--but maybe with a much bigger needle, too!

Hello from london. Patricia. I am a personal podiatrist searching for mew clients. Would you have face book or instagram?

Or an email? @patriciabolsover

Hello- Do you do this yourself or have it done in the office?

Mines been bad for about 8 months now. I can only run once a week typically a Saturday so I can recover to some degree and not be crippled at work. I'm on my feet all day as I'm a carpenter. I'll have to try this. Thanks.

Lovely video content! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you thought about - Taparton Walking Foot Takeover (google it)? It is a great exclusive guide for Getting Rid of Plantar Fasciitis without the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cooworker finally got great success with it.

You are welcome.

I have had this for 3 years, and its been really taking its toll on me. Could you tell me specifically what you did to get rid of this? Very interested in hearing it from someone else that has had it for as long as I have!

@@stine6103 By

Please tell what did you do?

termeric and.hot mustured oil massage is v.effective,oiling makes flexibility in feet,stiffness gone after applying few days this massage, personal.experience, you can also add,garlic in oil it is really effective,if you believe

which worked best?

Thanks!

The key to a second, or third opinions for that matter, is be sure the docs do not know one another at all. Good luck!

Thanks!

That is the DeFabio Difference!

No he's the doctor

The dude is a QUACK. He is for sure no physician.

Both treat the superficial fascia, so it would be duplicative. Winback TECAR before would be better.

There are a few factors in plantar foot treatment. One resource I found that successfully combines these is the Plantar Premium Plan (check it out on google) definately the most incredible treatment i've seen.look at all the awesome information .

I have spent months researching into cures for plantar fasciitis and found a fantastic resource at Natural Foot Wizard (check it out on google)

hi guys, the greatest results that I have had was by using the Natural Foot Wizard (just google it) without a doubt the most helpful resource i've tried.

Wrap an ace bandage around your arch. Not too tight but enough to support the arch. Keep the bandage on it at all times except for showering. You'll be good in a week

@@jamesklinski3890... I'm gonna try this. Will this method restore the p f back to good again?

Hello rose

Sky Aguilar It's very painful,I hope your mom gets better soon!😄

stardustgirl awe.....thank you so much. 😊

Sky Aguilar update?

We're in Berkeley Heights, NJ.

Hi, I m too facing this problem, nw hw is ur condition, what should I do to overcome this.

Glad it was helpful!

Insoles works as well, its like stretching your feet as you walk and youre stepping on a soft spot all the time.

I started using tennis balls for both feet and the arches hurt like crazy after a session and go on hurting for hours. I put pressure and alternate long rolls and circular rolls. What could I improve?

Only bone crackers like this make stupid statements like “fix it forever “

I had it so bad I had to get a cane...I think I got it from bad shoes..I went out and bought a good pair of 120 brooks shoes from a running shoe store. It has helped tremendously....

Do NOT power through the pain. An Achilles tendinitis can become a full blown degenerative tendenosis… My BIG mistake. Suffered 7 months, maybe healing slowly; HOKA, Ooofos, PT, deep massage, foot soaks, stretching, foot rest until much more healing🤷🏼‍♀️🥃 My poor 🐶

Excellent research on shockwave for PF. Ultrasound, not so much. As with all approaches, there is a clinical skill in application, too.

This is not medical advice. Explore electrolytes and magnesium citrate and a whole panel. Has anyone released your hamstrings or looked at your body mechanics at as a whole? (top to bottom?). I work with a lot of runners and many refuse to stop running until the issue is resolved or don't accept they can't go beyond a certain mileage. I think it's a great injustice to stop at the knee and not look at stability issues, nutritional, etc. This is a whole body issue.

Liz Schneider So? What do you recommend then in terms of concrete doable actions? I am not a doctor but willing to learn anything.

PRP injections seem to help, basically they drw your blood out from one place, then inject it in the area.

Do Hip flexor stretches such as seated pigeon pose stretch.

I soap my feet in Epsom salt. Dansko is the only shoe I can wear but not all day. I have very high arches. My feet feel like they are burning, on fire to the point I take my shoes off for relief. I have had my swell up foot burning cant get my foot out of my shoes.

The heat did not work for me. Icing with a frozen bottle did get rid of inflammation. I did it for 15 to 20 minutes, wearing socks 3 times per day. Go to a podiatrist to get properly diagnosed. Getting proper shoes and orthotics. The doctor can give you exercises to stretch the calf. Do these exercises on both feet. Hope this helps.

Like Kelly Divine

@@alop9535 LMAO 🤣😂😅 I knew someone else here has a foot fetish, Men of culture are winning once again!!!

What was the formula and where are you?

Whats the formula

Yes I also would like to know what the secret mix was

What is the composition?

I cannot remember what the compound formula was. It was in New York. Just recently I was shocked to learn I has osteoporosis. Looking back it was probably osteoporosis. Please do a DEXA scan. Protect yourself

Hello emma

Massaging & stretching my foot, leg and calf temporarily aggravates my PF. However, using a gel ice pack afterward to reduce the swelling and taking a couple ibuprofen before bed has worked well. I've also been taping my foot every morning and not had major pain. My PF has significantly healed and I hope to start jogging again after a few more weeks of self-treatment.

Rusty Reno Hi can you please explain what kind of taping u use exactly? I would like to tape my foot too, but not sure how to. Thanks

Nisha Chelaka I just used medical tape and taped it around my heal like they show in the videos. The most relief I got was from stretching my calf and giving myself a deep tissue massage of my foot every night before bed.

Gout or diabetes. Yea u may wanna stop. LOL. U prob injured heel bone or had a hairline fracture. Especially if it BRUISED and swelled

Leukotape

My Jersey is New Jersey, USA! Born, breed and still there!😎

Medial arch supports go under the arch, metatarsal pads go behind teh distal metatarsal heads and neuroma pads go under the metatarsal heads. See a local Sports Chiropractor and get the right diagnosis and pad.

@@DrDeFabio thanks. I I will. I can’t believe how bad this thing hurts.

Kitchen Therapy me too :(

They work?

leuko tape

In the kinetic chain the entire body is related mechanically. Finding the cause is the diagnostic issue.

@@DrDeFabio seeing an orthopedic surgeon next week. Hopefully they can figure something out. 😢 Been having these issues for most of my life.

@@furryplantsandcoins9070how r u now ? Please share what works for u to recover

+xasuma-Osu! It's a ligament scraper but you can use a normal butter-knife. Also called a Graston Instrument.

+xasuma-Osu! roll your foot over a rolling pin back and forth, same thing

😂😂😂

It's not about the tool it is about know how to use it. Find a good chiropractic sports doc near you.

@@DrDeFabio Thanks for your answer. It's so hard to find a physiotherapist here. And a good one, even more!! Long waiting lists. I haven't found a good chiropractor, alas. Nor osteopath. Still searching... Been years of multiple tries... Ugh!! But, your tools seem helpful. I wanted to try and use them at home. I've been using a table spoon, and it does help!
