Plantar fasciitis

[Ma'qal Bin Yasaar]

Bhai Zubair, Assalam O Alaikum,

 

Plantar fascia is a thick fibrous band of connective tissue originating on the bottom surface of the heel bone and extending along the sole of the foot towards the five toes. Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation (irritation and swelling with presence of extra immune cells) of the plantar fascia that can cause heel pain and make walking difficult. Some risk factors for development of this problem include foot arch problems, obesity, sudden weight gain, running and a tight Achilles tendon. The pain is usually felt on the underside of the heel and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. Another symptom is that the sufferer has difficulty bending the foot so that the toes are brought toward the shin. A symptom commonly recognized among sufferers of plantar fasciitis is increased probability of knee pains.

 

Surgery for Plantar fasciitis carries the risk of nerve injury, infection, rupture of the plantar fascia, and failure to improve the pain. Traditional surgical procedures, such as plantar fascia release, are a last resort, and often lead to further complications.

 

It is better to drain the entire leg, as patients with Plantar fasciitis may also develop knee pain, so you can cup the patient as:

• 2 cups on each side of the knee
• 2 cups on each side of calf
• 2 cups on each side of ankle (above the ankle, so that the ankle bone is not occupied inside the cup)
• 2 cups on the foot as we do for Gout patients, you can see the attached picture

If you will drain a single leg, the other will be felt more heavier by the Mahjoom, so we usually drain both the legs in a single session. But if the patient takes it as an aggressive cupping, you can drain the knee & calf (of both legs) in first session, & then the ankle & foot in the 2nd session after 30 days.

 

Because Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation, the patient should avoid animal proteins, dry nuts, legumes, soda drinks, tea, coffee and vegetable oils. Henna water at empty stomach with a tablespoon of Frankincense is a powerful, Anti-Inflammatory medicine from Tibb-e-Nabawi. You can read more about Frankincense at:

It is our experience that the Somali Frankincense (Lubaan Lami) is the best in this world, you will definitely find it at Somali shops in UK.
