It’s amazing to me how many people ring me on 4BC to ask about foot spurs, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis… It seems to be a very important, painful, and debilitating issue for many people in Australia.
Firstly, we need good connective tissue support so that the foot can heal and repair properly. Nutrients that can be used are things like silica, magnesium, calcium… Products that support connective tissue support: Metagenics Arthrex; BioCeuticals Silica liquid; Metagenics Cartrin; Blackmores SCF; Metagenics Glucosamine Intensive Care.
Secondly, ensure weight is optimal… carrying excess weight puts huge amounts of pressure on the feet, and they will of course, be inflamed over time. Foot spurs, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis and natural side-effects of long term weight issues. See us about our fat loss programme which has a fantastic success rate and saves you money long term.
Thirdly, structural balancing can be very beneficial: in our clinic we do:
- remedial massage to increase blood supply to the extremities
- structural kinesiology to balance hips, knees, ankles, feet
- foot manipulation to ensure all the bones of the feet are in correct positions
- frequency specific microcurrent to help to break down calcification in the joints
So, there really is plenty of help for heel spurs, foot spurs and plantar fasciitis. Call us today to book your appointment!
