Plantar Fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, resulting from inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot from the heel to the toes. The condition is characterized by sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, particularly noticeable with the first steps in the morning or after prolonged periods of sitting or standing. It is often associated with overuse, improper footwear, and excessive strain on the feet.
Our Experience
In Ayurveda, diagnosing plantar fasciitis involves assessing the patient’s symptoms, lifestyle, and foot mechanics. Physical examination includes evaluating pain, tenderness, and swelling in the heel and arch of the foot. Nadi Pariksha (pulse diagnosis) helps identify the dosha imbalances, typically Vata and Kapha, contributing to the condition. Modern diagnostic methods such as physical examination, X-rays, and ultrasound may be used to rule out other conditions and confirm the diagnosis.
Ayurvedic treatment for plantar fasciitis aims to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and support the healing of the plantar fascia by balancing the Vata and Kapha doshas. The treatment plan may include:
