What medical treatment did Shaquille O’Neal receive for plantar fasciitis when he was sidelined from the 2001 NBA All Stars Game? His heel pain was so severe he missed several games. Shaq was sidelined because his plantar fasciiitis so painful he couldn’t play.
As a star NBA player he received the best medical therapy available at the time—oral pain medication, which he could not tolerate and orthotics.
As recently as 2001 doctor’s mostly treated the symptoms of this painful condition.
If you experience plantar fasciitis, besides orthotics, you have probably tried one or more of the following treatments:
- Anti-Inflammatories
- Ice packs
- Stretching exercises
- Physical therapy
- Shockwave Therapy
…and the pain only comes back.
You may also have been told that heel pain is caused by:
- Excessive running
- Non-supportive shoes
- Over pronation
What actually causes plantar fasciitis?
Your pain is caused by excessive stretching of the plantar fascia. The plantar is a ligiment like structure that extends from the arch through your heel. Sometimes the muscle gets stretched so much that it tears. Similar to a rubber band that snaps.
