Universal Plantar Fasciitis Orthosis Ref: DJ-79-977-X

What is Plantar fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis means inflammation of the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a strong band of tissue (similar to a ligament) that stretches from the heel to the middle bones of the foot. It supports the arch of the foot. Small injuries to the plantar fascia can cause inflammation and symptoms. The injury is usually near to where it attaches to the heel bone.

Who gets plantar fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is quite common. It mainly affects people over 40 and is more common in women. It is also common in athletes. Situations where it is more likely include the following.

If you do lots of walking, running, standing, etc, when you are not used to it.
Wearing shoes with poor cushioning.
Sudden gains in weight or being overweight will put extra strain on the heel.
Overuse or sudden stretching of the sole. For example: athletes who increase their running intensity or distance; poor technique starting 'off the blocks'; etc.
Tightness of the Achilles tendon (at the bottom of the calf muscles above the heel).

Often there is no apparent cause, particularly in older people. A common wrong belief is that the pain is due to a bony growth or 'spur' coming from the heel bone (calcaneum). Many people have a bony spur of the heel bone but this is not usually the cause of the pain

What does the Plantar Fasciitis Orthosis do?

By wearing the Plantar Fasciitis Orthosis overnight, it keeps the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia slightly stretched. The aim is to prevent the plantar fascia from tightening up overnight.

The Universal Plantar Fasciitis Orthosis is very comfortable to wear and has padded inner liners. It is designed to hold the foot in dorsi flexion and allows load appilcation to soft tissues of plantar fascia and achilles tendon, with easy Easy adjustment of dorsi flexion
