A recent trial assessed a novel combination of local vibration and extracorporeal shock wave therapy for the effective treatment of plantar fasciitis, with results showing significant reductions in plantar fascia thickness and heel pain. The study highlights a promising therapeutic intervention to treat this common musculoskeletal cond...
A novel technique transplants patient fat into the sole to reduce plantar fasciitis symptoms, improving quality of life and sports activities. The study laid groundwork for a larger clinical trial with promising results.
Researchers have discovered a new type of skin cell, TIFFs, that may play a role in inflammatory skin diseases such as scleroderma. These cells were found to interact with immune cells and expand in response to inflammation, leading to an exaggerated response and fibrosis.
Researchers found that fascia tissue is the origin of scars and contains specialized fibroblasts that pre-assemble to heal wounds. This discovery challenges traditional views of wound healing and opens up new biological concepts for scar-related diseases, potentially leading to novel therapeutic approaches.
A recent study published in the Journal of Foot and Ankle Research found that over-the-counter orthotics can significantly reduce plantar fascia strain, with an average reduction of 34% in 17 out of 20 subjects. This could lead to improved treatment options for people suffering from plantar fasciitis.
A new study reveals that manual plantar fasciitis stretching exercises outperform shockwave therapy in treating acute plantar fasciitis pain. Patients who performed stretching exercises reported higher patient satisfaction and superior results compared to those who received repetitive low-energy radial shock-wave therapy.
A new procedure using grafts of muscle and connective tissue from the neck has resulted in improved appearance for at least two years. The amount of vermilion showing increased by an average of 20 percent to 24 percent, while the average projection of the upper and lower lip increased by an average of 0.9 to 0.99 millimeters.
A new ultrasound-guided technique combined with steroid injection has been shown to be 95% effective in relieving plantar fasciitis symptoms within three weeks. This treatment is a viable option for patients who have tried conservative treatments and are experiencing persistent pain.
A new stretch targeting the plantar fascia has shown significant results in treating plantar fasciitis, with 75% of patients experiencing no pain and full activity within 3-6 months. The stretch, developed by Benedict DiGiovanni and Deborah Nawoczenski, requires repeated stretching exercises to alleviate chronic symptoms.
