Ann–
I discovered a treatment (on myself) for chronic plantar fasciitis that did
not require the use of arch supports or a night splint–via accu-pressure.
It turns out that there is two pressure points on either side of the ankle
about an inch or a thumb’s width below the maleoli that, when pressed relieves
the symptoms of PF for hours. The treatment can easily be self-administered
as required. Couple this with a comfortable cushion insole with a little
longitudinal and metatarsal support and you save the expense and aggravation
of a night splint.
If you try it, let me know the results. I’ve suggested it to several of my
own amputee patients and they seem to be getting satisfactory results as well.
