Bunion Treatment in Vancouver

Bunion Treatment in Vancouver

A bunion is an enlargement of the bone & joint of the big toe (1st metatarsophalangeal joint) often caused by chronic irritation of the skin, joint capsule and bone. Genetic factors play a part in the development of a bunion as do the footwear chosen and the activities most often performed. High heeled and narrow shoes send to place a greater stress on the joint of the big toe and can be a precipitating factor.

Bunions can be treated & Bunions can be prevented!

Bunions can be successfully treated with the support of custom orthotic inserts. How you ask? It's an issue of biomechanics!

Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Vancouver

Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Vancouver

Plantar Fasciitis is a painful inflammatory condition caused by excessive strain to the "plantar fascia" (bottom fibrous tissue) of the foot. The plantar fascia is a thick fibrous band of connective tissue originating on the bottom surface of the calcaneus (heel bone) and extending along the sole of the foot towards the five toes.

Dr. Michael Horowitz offers a 5-Step process to successfully treating this condition. He can help evaluate & diagnose your condition and recommend the best course of action for you. Call Vancouver Orthotics at 604-737-3668 for mor information.

Foot Pain

The cause of plantar fasciitis can be from a specific trauma to the foot or from chronic repetitive strain often associated with the flat overly pronated foot. Pain is usually felt on the underside of the heel, inside more often than outside of the arch, and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. It is commonly associated with long periods of weight bearing.

Plantar fasciitis can be successfully treatment with the support of custom orthotic inserts.

Excessive weight or weight gain, jobs that require a lot of standing or walking on hard surfaces, shoes with little or no arch support, and inactivity are also associated with the condition. In advanced cases plantar fasciitis can lead to heel spurring on the calcaneus, in which case it is the underlying condition, and not the spur itself, which produces the pain. Achilles tendinitis can sometimes be associated with plantar fasciitis.
