Foot Tendinitis Causes And Treatment Options

The 26 bones of the foot form over 33 joints connected and mobilized by hundreds of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Tendons are fibrous bands of connective tissues, and their primary function is to attach muscles to bones. Ligaments are connective tissue that connects two bones forming joints and keeps the joint stable. Tendinitis occurs with repetitive actions that injuries the tendon. Also, they are common in patients with foot or ankle instability. We have listed some of the sic most common causes of foot tendonitis below:

1. Repetitive traumatic activities
2. Structural issues with the foot (flat foot, high arch, or congenital malformation)
3. Improper or worn-out foot ware
4. High heel
5. Inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Gout

What Are The Most Common Types Of Tendonitis In The Feet?

There are over 20 muscles that give the foot its appearance and mobility. Each muscle has two tendons, one on each end of muscle. Tendonitis can occur at one or both ends. List of the five most common types of tendinitis:

1. Achilles tendonitis
2. Peroneal tendinosis
3. Posterior tibial tendonitis
4. Extensor tendonitis
5. Flexor tendonitis
6. Achilles Tendinitis And Foot Pain

Achilles heel pain and tendinitis treatment at Chiropractic Specialty Center® (CSC) targets the injured and inflamed Achilles tendons with breakthrough therapy devices for lasting relief of heel pain and Achilles pain. 

The Achilles tendon connects the gastrocnemius-soleus complex to the calcaneum or the heel bone. Achilles tendinitis results from repetitive injuries or sports-related activities injuring the Achilles tendon. Patients with Achilles tendonitis may also present with bursitis. As such, patients with Achilles pain or Achilles tendinitis must be thoroughly assessed for retrocalcaneal bursitis.’ The calcaneum and the retrocalcaneal bursa are very closely related at this site of tendon insertion.

Common Causes Of Achilles Tendinitis

Running and speed walking are the two most common causes of foot tendinitis. In addition to running and walking, repetitive jumping and pushing up on your toes may also cause injuries to tendons. Weight-lifter needs to pay extra attention, especially during dead-lifts or when they push their heels up with weights in their hands or on top of shoulders. Also, we must mention that some individuals are prone to developing tendon problems such as Achilles tendinitis; we have provided a list below:

• Tight or shortened calf muscles
• An abnormal Achilles prominence
• Frequent wearing of high heeled shoes
• Gymgoers
• Weekend warriors

Foot pain and tendonitis are also common in females who wear high-heeled shoes. Wearing high-heeled shoes causes shortening of the Achilles tendons and problems with the arch of the foot and toes joints (metatarsal joints). Metatarsalgia is the most common cause of foot pain in men and women. A neglected metatarsalgia results in degeneration of foot joints and their soft tissues. Therefore, it is imperative to start a holistic or comprehensive foot pain treatment that addresses the root causes of foot pain before the damage becomes irreversible.

Bursitis And Foot Pain

A bursa is a small sac of fluid that cushions soft tissues and bones near joints or on surfaces where tendons are present. Bursitis occurs with repetitive action or injures that cause excessive friction and eventual swelling of the bursa. The foot has three bursae:

1. Subcutaneous bursa of the medial malleolus
2. Retrocalcaneal bursa
3. Subcutaneous calcaneal bursa

Best Morton’s Neuroma Treatment In Kuala Lumpur

Morton’s neuroma is a painful foot condition that results when the nerve between the long bones of the feet (metatarsals) gets compressed, irritated, and thickened. The most common cause of Morton’s neuroma is wearing tight shoes and high heels; it is more common in females. Other reasons include repetitive injuries that damage the foot’s nerve. The most common location of Morton’s neuroma is the area between the beet’s 3rd and 4th metatarsal bones, near the ball of the foot. Morton’s neuroma symptoms and signs include foot pain that feels as though you have a pebble under the ball of your feet near the toes. 

Chiropractic Specialty Cenrer® (CSC) has successfully treated hundreds of Morton’s neuroma patients without injections or surgery. CSC’s clinical team of physiotherapists and chiropractors treat Morton’s neuroma through an integrative approach that combines physiotherapy with chiropractic in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Foot Pain Treatment For High Arch & Flat Feet

Flat feet and a high arch are both problematic. Exessive arch in the foot stresses the joints of the feet cause them to wear out or degenerate. As the joints deteriorate, they become inflamed and painful. An individual with a high arch will experience aching feet. In other words, if you have a high arch, you will experience foot pain; it’s just a matter of time! Therefore, getting your high arched look at by one of our experts can prevent foot pain and degenerative changes that may be irreversible.

A low arch, flat foot, or dropped arches are leading causes of foot pain and discomfort. The pain resulting from a flat foot is due to inflamed or irritated soft tissues (muscle, tendons, and ligaments) and joints of the feet. Soft tissue stress results because the flat foot causes an internal malpositioning of joints, stressing soft tissues and joints. Customized foot support such as orthotic support under the arch will help. However, most patients with a painful foot may also require active rehabilitation and focused foot treatments for lasting relief of foot pain. CSC offers highly effective therapy options for a dropped arch.  

What Is A Normal Arch For The Feet

You have a normal arch if the middle part of your foot at the arch is raised slightly from the ground when standing. The best testing method to see how good your foot’s arch is to get your spouse or roommate to see if they can insert their pinky finger under your arch while in a standing position. Correcting a high arch or a flat foot (low arch) is the priority before it becomes painful. The absence, deficiency (low arch), or excessive arch in the foot will stress, irritate, and damage bones, joints, and soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and plantar fascia. 

What Is The Primary Function Of The Plantar Fascia?

The plantar facia is a highly specialized ligament made of an elastic fibrous band of connective tissue to connect the base of your toes at the metatarsal arch with the heel bone or calcaneus. The primary function of the plantar fascia is to stabilize the foot’s arch and provide shock absorbance. Excessive walking, running, and jumping cause the plantar fascia to stretch and contract thousands of times. Runners, dancers, and gymgoers alike are at higher risks of developing plantar fasciitis.  

Plantar Fasci Pain & Non-Invasive Plantar Fasciitis Treatment 

Plantar fasciitis is damaged or inflamed plantar fascia. Risk factors include:

1. Obesity
2. Worn out shoes
3. High heels
4. Cardio work out or exercises where you walk, jump, or run a lot
5. excessive walking

The best treatment for plantar fascia is a holistic method without injections or surgery. Steroids or steroidal injections may provide relief for days or weeks but can cause bone and soft tissue degeneration, including the death of bones, muscle, ligaments, and tendons. Therefore, we encourage you to avoid invasive methods, especially steroid injections, which will cause more harm. Instead, we recommend a combination of physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and chiropractic. CSC has treated thousands of plantar fascitis patients with a nearly 100% success rate; contact us today.

Heel spurs Or Bone Spur Causes & Best Treatment Options

Bone spurs and heel spurs are osteoarthritic formations that result from neglect of a minor injury or excessive stress on joints. The most common cause of heel spur is neglected plantar fasciitis. Therefore, any time you experience pain at the bottom of your foot near the heel, get it checked out and treated thoroughly. 

Surgical removal of heel spurs has not had great success rates. Those who had the heel spur surgically removed often experience heel and foot pain within a week or months of the surgery. In some cases, the heel spur may reemerge within the first two years. 

The best non-invasive method of treating plantar fasciitis with a heel spur is to get shockwave therapy and laser therapy done. Shockwave and high-intensity laser therapies are the two most effective physiotherapy procedures for heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. The impact of the two procedures is enhanced to greater levels when physiotherapy, rehabilitation are combined with chiropractic treatment for realignment of the foot bones; contact us today for more information.

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Causes & Treatment

The tarsal tunnel is a passageway formed by the flexor retinaculum, fibrous connective tissue, and the boney surface on the medial or inner ankle. Tendons, blood vessels, and nerves of the foot pass through the tarsal tunnel on their way to your feet and toes. Here is a list of six structures that pass through the tarsal tunnel:

1. Tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle
2. Tendon of the flexor digitorum longus
3.  Tibial vein
4. Tibial artery
5. Tibial nerve,
6. Tendon of the flexor hallucis longs

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome or TTS is a diagnosis or condition when one or more of the six listed structures are compressed or irritated in the tarsal tunnel. Sprains, strains, and poor footwear are common causes of tarsal tunnel syndrome or tarsal tunnel-like pains. Tarsal tunnel syndrome may also result in patients with obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, or diabetes.
