I had it and couldn’t dance at a dance convention. A friend saw me and said had it for 5 years when a nurse snuck up on her and said “Get Z-Coil shoes, and they will be gone within a few weeks. “. Worked great.
I've had it 2x. Stretching the calves will prevent it. I have high arches and also my left ankle I can't dorsiflex fully because of ankle sprains. 1st time I used a night splint but a also built up the arch support on my hiking shoes considerably. I wasn't as active so it healed ok. Rolling the arches with a frozen bottle: don't waste your time. I used a night splint for 3mo and it helps. An old large one wouldn't cause pain at night like other night splints. I use a heat pad now before stretching the calves and it's ideal. Croc sandals have arch support so slip them on getting out of bed.
I had the condition for years and had to give up running and at times could barely walk.I switched to cycling to keep fit, tried stretching, rolling on a spiky ball, acupuncture, steroid injection,shoe inserts tapping all to no avail,but what cured it was persistence with a night splint accompanied with arch strengthening exercises, now at night I don't wear a night splint but try to go to sleep with my foot against the bed end to keep it a bit straighter at night but if it comes back even a little I will definitely use the night splint again.I am now back to running regularly and have been free for several years
@@fakenamefakesurname5005 Simple calf raises are one exercise , but for me quite effective exercises simply imagine trying to grasp an object with your toes and holding the pose for varying times, then releasing and spreading the toes. Also stand on a mat or carpet and slowly raise the toes and arch the feet fully then slowly reverse the action with a few holds until returning to the rest position. This can be more tricky in the more painful acute stage so could be done with less weight in the sitting position then but later is better in recovery period when stronger and less painful. The problem is that with artificial arch support the foot muscles that support the arch get weaker and any activity or muscle engagement of the feet including wiggling spreading the toes to counteract this can help. Our ancestors would have naturally had stronger feet and arches walking bare feet over various terrain engaging all sorts of movement and muscle naturally but we can try to do simple exercises to keep our feet and arches stronger
I developed a similar program in 2011. Also, wearing the appropriate shoe gear for the foot type. Huge difference. I had 80% improvements in my patients within 8 visits with all of the home strategies if compliant.
I broke my habit of sleeping with my feet pointed when I was pregnant. I woke up with very painful Charlie horses in my calves and trained myself to keep my feet flexed at a 90 degree angle. Great reinforcement.
Outstanding video. I love in Florida so I wear sandals often. I realized that specific sandals and footwear make a HUGE difference. I ONLY wear Hoka Recover sandals,Ooefes or Hoka sneakers. Also massaging and stretching the under foot every time I get up from bed too
I got Hoka One One's a couple years ago and oh my god, I've never worn a more comfortable shoe. I'll have to try their sandals. I got Tevas not too long ago, and they are not living up to the race reviews!
I'm from Maldives 🇲🇻 😌 and I too had these in my both feet and right feet worse. I am a die hard offshore Fisherman and crazily passionate about almost anything that includes fish 🐟 from salty waters. After having immense feet pain started eventually everyday in morning 🌄 made my job as a FedEx courier service guy got a bit affected, so I thought and hoped-for a solution by going out to beach ⛱️ fishing every night 🌙 for 1 to 2 months on bare feet on fine white sand on beach became an unbelievably good solution and the pain is gone...but still sometimes I feel a very mild pain,but it's all OK 👍...atleast for now. Hope this helps someone 🙏. Maybe my natural agnostic character is the best natural doctor for my soul n body.
MBT shoes cured my pain and several of my friends pain. That kind of shoes are round bottomed. We are a bunch of nurses on our feet all day. MBT stands for Massa Barefoot Technology after the Massi tribe in Africa. It works!!!!
I had this and it's because I spend my life in work boots, orthotics made it worse, loosening up the soles of the boots in a bench vice surprisingly did the trick, that and stretching but that's just me
I had this from wearing old shoes that made my heel slip when I walked. I fixed it by chance. I started to wear Merrell Moab hiking shoes when I went for my daily walk. The shoes are a bit stiffer than regular walking or running shoes and that must have fixed my calf muscle. It worked pretty quicky. I would say in a week or maybe 2.
Since I removed the stress from my arches (And my feet in general) by losing 54 # of Pandemic Fat-no more Plantar Fasciitis and/or heel spurs pain. And I hate this fact since I feel that losing weight Is not the cure all that many physicians feel it is. Anyway-there it is.
I've had PF for years. It started in my left foot, and that FINALLY went away. Now, it's in my right foot. I've tried the night sock and the splints, and I just can't do it. After only a few minutes, everything goes numb. In addition, my foot doesn't at all fit properly into the splint once I'm lying down. I've tried everything out there, and now, I've been in PT for 2 months because the pain alternates between my right foot and my right lower back. It's a mess. I was told that starting with my next appointment, they're going to have to do some sort of needle therapy. YIKES! Something's gotta give, though. If these splints work for you, then that's awesome. They sure didn't for me, though.
I only had it because if my workout shoes was worn out. Once I switched shoes and started doing treatment with a baseball, it went away in 2 weeks. Maybe shorter than that
Does this work with metatarsal bursitis? I wore a night splint for a week and did not get it to go away completely yet. I do notice I lock my knees often so I am working to stop doing that and have noticed a difference on that but still have not had success for it going away completely. (I’m a endurance athlete and am always moving so it’s been tough(
@@Dee-im7zd That's why I have been putting off getting some. I can't even sleep with socks on! And, I sleep on my stomach some of the time. I'm a light sleeper and can't imagine being able to sleep with them either. Thanks for sharing your experience.

2:43 he says he uses the splint and then later says he's never had it and never used it at 6:00
... because he never needed it.
At 2:43 I think he meant for his patients, not for himself personally. I was confused by that too.
@@carl13579 Yes, sorry!
Yes, it was meant it was used for patients, not him himself

I wear birkenstocks for PF. The men's Atacama with the non cork foot bed is the best.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you doctor
You are very welcome
Since I removed the stress from my arches
(And my feet in general) by losing 54 # of Pandemic
Fat-no more Plantar Fasciitis and/or heel spurs pain.
And I hate this fact since I feel that losing weight
Is not the cure all that many physicians feel it is.
Anyway-there it is.
Losing weight helps almost every single physiological factor there is. It IS the cure all for MOST people.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you sharing, I am going to give this a try
Great! Hopefully it helps

Is it beneficial to tape a very high arch?
How do we find out how to tape our feet if that is an issue? Thanks so much!
Here is a video for this: th-cam.com/video/WTFUZR89zUc/w-d-xo.html
I have this but also facitis lumps a the bottom of my feet, does this work for those to?
You can certainly try it!
I had PF and it stopped after I went on a very low carb and stopped drinking coffee daily.
Thanks for sharing

I don't see the link to the dorsal night splints, that you said you would provide. Am I just missing it?
Sorry! Here it is: amzn.to/3NmTEYU
They were uncomfortable
For me and I just couldn’t wear them .
