Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis with Microcurrent Stimulation Plantar fasciitis is a very common problem. This is the usual diagnosis given when the person has complaints of foot pain with walking. The usual treatment for plantar fasciitis besides the use of anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, is the use of special inserts for the shoes. People often spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars for these custom inserts. Most people we see in this office have had three or four or five or more sets of these inserts and while they may bring some relief, they often have only a minimal effect on relieving the pain or improving endurance and how far a person can walk before they suffer pain. Many of the inserts are quite hard and rigid, and can cause even more pain and discomfort for people. Microcurrent stimulation therapy and acupuncture, together with some rather gentle exercises as the pain begins to subsided have proven to be very useful, simple, and safe treatments for plantar fasciitis. This condition often requires a significant number of treatments, but the treatments are relatively painless and the improvements are very long-lasting. Return to Microcurrent Stimulation Home Page
