Running Strain
This condition is characterized by localized pain and swelling in the inner area of the heel bone and the arch of the foot.
Doctor's Treatment Plan
Acute:
Treatment consists of reducing any swelling in the affected area, followed by a series of stretching exercises designed to rehabilitate muscles and increase strength, so as to avoid future injuries.
Chronic:
The treatment is much like that above: the individual patient needs to be evaluated and his/her condition addressed. Swelling must be reduced and a regimen of care needs to
be prescribed and followed. However, in chronic cases the patient may also be referred to a podiatrist for orthotic work. |
