Jacobo physical therapy clinics treat a variety of conditions related to plantar fasciitis and other podiatry issues. Here are some common ones:
Plantar Fasciitis Conditions:
- Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the plantar fascia, causing heel pain, especially with the first steps in the morning.
- Heel Spurs: Bony growths on the heel bone often associated with plantar fasciitis.
- Achilles Tendonitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon, causing pain at the back of the heel.
- Flat Feet (Pes Planus): A condition where the arches of the feet are flattened, leading to overpronation and plantar fasciitis.
- High Arches (Pes Cavus): Excessively high arches that can lead to increased stress on the plantar fascia.
Podiatry Conditions:
- Bunions: Bony bumps that form on the joint at the base of the big toe.
- Hammertoes: A deformity causing the toe to bend or curl downward instead of pointing forward.
- Diabetic Foot Complications: Including ulcers, infections, and neuropathy.
- Morton’s Neuroma: A thickening of the tissue around a nerve leading to the toes, causing pain and numbness.
- Metatarsalgia: Pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot.
- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the tibial nerve as it travels through the tarsal tunnel, causing pain and numbness.
- Sesamoiditis: Inflammation of the sesamoid bones in the ball of the foot.
These conditions are often treated with a combination of exercises, manual therapy, orthotic devices, and education to improve function, reduce pain, and enhance overall foot health.
