Heel Pain

Plantar Fascitiis



Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. More specifically, plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue, called plantar fascia, that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Flat feet, changes in weight (especially increases in body weight), and activity changes can cause this condition. Plantar faciitis may also be associated with a heel spur, and this can be identified with an X-Ray. Plantar fasciitis is often successfully treated with conservative measures, such as the use of anti-inflammatory medications, icing, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, injections, and physical therapy.

Achilles Tendonitis



The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the human body, and it is a common site for irritation or tears. Both professional and weekend athletes may suffer from Achilles tendonitis, an inflammation of the tendon. Common causes of Achilles tendonitis include the following: running up hills or stairs, trauma, overuse, rapid increase in mileage for running or walking, flat feet, and improper shoegear. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, and swelling. Injuries to the Achilles tendon may require an MRI or ultrasound because these modalities allow visualization of the tendon. X-Rays will not show the Achilles tendon but can show a bone spur on the back of the heel bone, which may occur with chronic, long-term Achilles tendon problems. Treatment options include immobilization, strapping, proper shoegear, physical therapy, medication, icing, and on occasion, surgery.

The Ideal Protein Diet has worked for me. Over a four month period starting in May, 2014, I lost 40 plus pounds on this diet. I have been able to maintain this weight loss since then.

I was feeling very sluggish, bloated and not full of life. I went online to Advanced Physical Medicine to make an appointment for a colon hydrotherapy. Well lets just say after doing 3 sessions, I FEEL AWESOME! Elida is the best colonic therapist that you can ever have. Not only is the procedure comfortable, but afterwards you will have so much energy. Elida also recommended the Total Tea Gentle Detox Tea, and OMG! Also the best. I have type 2 Diabetes, and I have been feeling so much better with this tea. It's a great taste, no sugar needed! This was the best decision that I have done in a long time. The staff here is also pretty awesome! Thank you so much Advanced Physical Medicine and Elida!

The Ideal Protein Diet has worked for me. Over a four month period starting in May, 2014, I lost 40 plus pounds on this diet. I have been able to maintain this weight loss since then. On the Ideal Protein diet I can honestly say that I have never been hungry, and it has helped me change over to healthy eating habits. I am a type-two diabetic and was on one-half dozen different medications for diabetes. With the weight loss my blood sugars are now normal and I am off all diabetic meds! The Ideal Protein diet has changed my life!
