Arch Pain?

The most common cause of arch pain is plantar fasciitis, a swelling of the plantar fascia which runs across the bottom of the foot.  The thick band of tissue connects your heel bone to the toes. Women, those who work on their feet, those who wear improper shoes, and those with flat feet are more susceptible to plantar fasciitis. Flat feet, or fallen arches, are another common cause of arch pain. 

The Thera-Band® Foot Roller is used to provide temporary relief from pain associated with plantar fasciitis, heel spurs and tired feet. Patients with plantar fasiciitis can use the roller as a device to stretch the plantar fascia and increase flexibility. Those experiencing soreness from tired feet will find the massaging benefits of the roller pleasant and therapeutic. In all applications, the Foot Roller can be chilled or frozen to help reduce inflammation. Try the foot roller to relieve your arch pain.

If the pain in your feet persists or worsens, it is important to schedule an appointment with a podiatrist.  Call our office at 419-423-1888 or visit our website at vailfoot.com to request an appointment.  Foot pain is not normal!  Your feet are a very complex part of your body and deserve proper care.
