Plantar fasciitis is typically caused by inflammation of the
plantar fascia. It can cause heel pain and may also cause severe arch
pain. Tendinitis can occur in many different places in your foot including
your Achilles tendon on the back of your heel, and also around the top
and sides of your foot. These conditions can become very painful and
can take many months to treat.
Treatments for these problems may include cortisone injections,
oral anti-inflammatories, custom-made arch supports, and physical
therapy. If these conditions don't improve with conservative treatment
sometimes surgery is an option.
Many of these conditions are caused because the ligaments
and tendons start to weaken as the body gets older. There is a
new oral supplement that is available in our office to help strengthen the
ligaments and tendons. Colig-10 is a completely safe oral supplement
taken twice a day for at least a few weeks to a month which supports
ligaments and tendons. Vitamins, grape seed, green tea and alpha lipoic
acid are all-natural and combined into one pill. All of these nutrients can
help heal and strengthen your tendons and ligaments. This supplement
is used in conjunction with other treatments to help you heal quicker
and to avoid surgery. Please contact our office if you have any questions.
