In this diagram, it shows a ‘normal’ heel bone which has an inside bone as well as a casing bone with the plantar fascia attached.

However, when the plantar fascia begins to pull on the bone it creates swelling in between the outer case and inner casing of the heel bone. This will cause the inner casing to start to fill in to the outer casing which causes a heel spurt or a heel spike.
إلّا أنّه عندما تبدأ اللّفافة الأخمصيّة بشدّ العظمة، يبدأ التورّم بين الغلافين الخارجي والداخلي لعظمة الكعب. هذا الأمر سيدفع الغلاف الداخلي تجاه الغلاف الخارجي ممّا يسبّب الكعب المُدبّب أو مهماز الكعب/ العقب
To prevent this from happening we would lift the arch of the foot back up again and tilt the foot so that the plantar fascia can become relaxed rather than being pulled tight on the heel bone.
لتجنّب حدوث ذلك، نقوم برفع قوس القدم مجدّدًا وإمالة القدم بحيث تبقى اللفافة الأخمصيّة مرتخية بدلًا من أن تكون مشدودة بإحكام عند عظمة الكعب
Plantar fasciitis is a very painful condition that affects the under surface of the heel bone.
التهاب اللفافة الأخمصية هي حالة مؤلمة جدًّا تؤثر على السطح السفلي لعظمة الكعب
This usually occurs in the morning time when you wake up and put your feet down on to the ground or when you stand up and move up after sitting down for a while.
يحدث هذا عادةً في الصباح عندما تستيقظ وتضع قدميك على الأرض أو عندما تقف وترفع قدميك للأعلى بعد الجلوس لفترة من الوقت
The reason for that is due to the plantar fascia which runs underneath the foot all the way from the heel to the forefoot. This is a strong structure that keeps the foot arch up. Although, if the foot arch is beginning to collapse downwards the plantar fascia will pull tight.
والسبب في ذلك يعود إلى التهاب اللفافة الأخمصية الذي يمتدّ طول أسفل القدم من الكعب حتّى المقدّمة. هذا هيكل قوي يحافظ على ارتفاع القوس. رغم أنّه اذا بدأ قوس القدم بالسقوط فإنّ اللفافة الأخمصية سوف تشدّ بقوّة
The plantar fascia is anchored in the heel, when it pulls tight on the heel bone it will begin to grow a spike of bone.
اللفافة الأخمصية مثبّتة بالكعب، عندما تضغط اللفافة الأخمصية على عظمة الكعب، تبدأ شوكة العظم بالنموّ

Firstly, a ‘supinated’ foot occurs when your weight rolls onto the outer edges of your foot. In this example, you can see the heel bone clearly leaning outwards which creates tension in the calf muscles and tendon attachments. This is because the calf muscles are undergoing more stress because of the supinated foot. A supinated foot is a structural issue with the ankle and heel bone and can be altered with corrective orthotics.
Next is a ‘neutral’ example of a foot without any pain. We use the term ‘neutral’ to describe how the heel bone is straight with no signs of supination or pronation. In this case, the heel bone is vertical as well as the achilles tendon sitting equally with
Lastly, the most common type of heel bone pain we see in our clinic is from a ‘pronated’ foot. In this case, the foot slants inwards which causes the heel bone to lean in and the achilles tendon to overstretch. This creates irritation on the inside of the heel bone and can generate an extremely uncomfortable amount of pain as well as soreness in the achilles higher up.
We have two main products to alter this which is the ‘Footerella System’ for women and the ‘Tri-Step System’ for men. Both of the systems have the same products in different sizes such as orthotics, foot binding tapes and electromuscle stimulators.
Secondly, the electromuscle stimulators are used to tighten and strengthen the foot muscles. This is perfect for people are that adjusting to wearing orthotics and may feel some minor discomfort or aching feeling in their feet. It is also beneficial to use an electromuscle stimulator if you have been standing or walking for a long time. This device is most popular for people with occupations that require standing for lengthy periods of time such as in the military, cabin crew and teachers.
Lastly, the Footerella and Tri-Step system’s have foot binding tapes which helps to support the ligaments in the feet.
