Summary

The Plantar Fascia (PF) is a thick, fibrous sheath located in the middle of the sole of the foot, starting from the tuber calcanei in the calcaneus and extending to the level of the middle phalanges. Plantar Fasciitis (PFs) is inflammation and thickening of the PF where it attaches to the calcaneus. PFs are the most common cause of heel pain. Diagnosis is made by physical examination and radiological examinations. On physical examination, there is localized tenderness medial to the calcaneal tuberosity. In the treatment of plantar fasciitis, there are many applied methods such as anti-inflammatory agents, orthostotic supports, night splints, physical therapy, corticosteroid applications, night splint use, plastering, rest, lifestyle modification, laser, taping, exercise and ESWT. Kinesio tapes, which have been used in the conservative treatment of plantar fasciitis in recent years, are elastic tapes similar to the structural properties and flexibility of human skin, without limiting joint movements. Peloidotherapy is a special balneotherapy method made with natural mud. In both domestic and international scientific studies on peloid treatment, it has been shown that pain in patients decreases, physical functions improve, quality of life increases, and the amount of painkillers use decreases. We could not find any study comparing Peloidotherapy and Kinesioband methods routinely used in the treatment of PF in the literature.

Conditions

  • Plantar Fasciitis

Interventions

OTHER

Peloid Therapy

Peloid therapy; A total of 10 sessions were applied for 30 minutes by heating the proximal part of the sole of the foot, including the heel part, at a temperature of 45 degrees. Kinesioband application: One strip is prepared as a rake with a length of about 25 cm, and the other strip is prepared as an I tape with a length of about 20 cm. The ankle is in a neutral position of 90 degrees. Lymphatic and mechanical correction technique is applied. Afterwards, the band is activated.
