1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,600
We're going to try not to talk 
about highly technical things, 

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,600
but once again, thank you for 
giving us this half hour. 

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
So first a little intro why 
we're each going to kind of tell

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,600
a little story of a patient that
we have and I find we both of us

5
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:25,300
with physical therapy and and in
Podiatry, treating people every 

6
00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:27,800
single day with plantar 
fasciitis. 

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,900
And I want to give an example of
a woman that I was seeing 

8
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:32,500
recently. 
She's a 35 year old female. 

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,700
She came in and she had been 
dealing with heel pain for three

10
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:40,600
years and she kept on hoping 
that it would go away. 

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,400
Initially started when she was 
trying to work out for exercise 

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,000
to shed a little bit of weight 
after having a couple of 

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,100
children and it never got a 
never went away. 

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,800
And so part of her reason for 
keeping active is, she was 

15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,800
trying to lose weight. 
And when you have really bad 

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,400
healing, you can't do anything. 
It's debilitating. 

17
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,300
So for me, when I was able to 
treat her, send her over to 

18
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:04,400
physical therapy. 
Therapy, do some different types

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,100
of treatments. 
I think she had some shock wave 

20
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:09,200
therapy and things like that 
getting her into Orthotics, she 

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,800
could be active during her 
recovery. 

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,000
So that's kind of why I like to 
help people. 

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,900
And Joe you had a marathon 
patient right recently. 

24
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:19,300
Yes I have a marathon patient 
right now she's at the mid 

25
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:23,200
14-mile running to distance. 
It's just I'm becoming having 

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,400
foot pain. 
She's in physical therapy, were 

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,000
taking care of the foot pain, 
but we still going to keep her 

28
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,900
cardio up. 
So we're having our do things 

29
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:32,000
like swimming getting on the 
bike. 

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,900
For that two hour mark and 
keeping that heart rate where it

31
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:40,000
is, so she can keep her cardio 
while she's still training and 

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,100
still getting better so she can 
get back into the Running part 

33
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:44,200
of it. 
Yes, I think that's key is 

34
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,900
keeping people active so they 
can either lose weight or run 

35
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:50,600
their Marathon or you do not 
have to switch boards. 

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,600
But I do tell people once in a 
while, you know, if you have a 

37
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,700
for example, other things like a
stress fracture. 

38
00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:59,400
That might be a good opportunity
to kind of learn another sport 

39
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,000
like swimming or something else 
like that. 

40
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,400
If it's to debilitating So let's
get right into it. 

41
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,600
The two types of heel pain that 
we're talking about I would say 

42
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,700
90% maybe 95% are something 
called plantar fasciitis and 

43
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:19,000
achilles tendonitis. 
Now the reason we're talking 

44
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,400
about heel pain generically is 
because both of these, if you 

45
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,800
look this is the heel bone or 
the calcaneus both of these 

46
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,600
insert into the heel, the 
plantar. 

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,700
Sure inserts into the bottom in 
the Achilles inserts into the 

48
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:41,000
back. 
So in my opinion, to pretty much

49
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,600
the same thing and they're 
treated very, similarly y, you 

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,700
get one versus the other, maybe 
a flip of the coin, there might 

51
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:52,500
be some what we call 
biomechanics, or how your foot 

52
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:55,900
structure is or how tight you 
are, but a lot of people they 

53
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:58,800
come in with plantar fasciitis 
and then maybe later on. 

54
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,600
They'll develop achilles 
tendonitis and I think the big 

55
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,800
culprit is the back. 
Back of the calf and no one ever

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,500
complains of back of calf pain. 
And when I bring up, you know, 

57
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:14,100
working the back of the calf or 
working your core, or working 

58
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:19,000
your quads, or your glutes, or 
your other things more up, or 

59
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,400
more proximal, everyone wonders.
Why? 

60
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,500
It's because the foot is just a 
symptom of what's Happening, 

61
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:27,400
higher up. 
And so that's why it's 

62
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,700
essential. 
If you really want to get rid of

63
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:32,400
it and avoid injury, you have to
work on everything else. 

64
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,100
Hi Up. 
And you're all it is is how your

65
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:37,800
body moves over your foot. 
So if your body is moving over 

66
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,800
abnormal, abnormally, that needs
to be fixed specifically in your

67
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,000
pelvis. 
That's a big area or hip range 

68
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
of motion. 
Another thing that people should

69
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
know of some they actually have 
degeneration of the tendon. 

70
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,800
So you can see here this is a 
thickened tendon and it develops

71
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,000
Scar Tissue. 
That's called a bulbous. 

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,700
Looks like a bulb. 
A bulbous change in the 

73
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:02,100
Achilles. 
Now if you think about it, if 

74
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:05,400
you have a A piece of string and
you tie a whole bunch of knots 

75
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,900
in it that string is going to 
reduce in length because it 

76
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:12,900
takes up space those knots and 
it's the same thing in the 

77
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:16,600
Achilles and the same thing of 
the fashion you're going to see 

78
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,800
later on when I talk about the 
ultrasound it gets thicker if 

79
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,400
it's thicker it inherently gets 
shorter when it gets shorter, 

80
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,300
it's going to put more strain on
those on those tissues. 

81
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:32,600
So in my opinion I think about 
80 percent is due to tight. 

82
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:36,500
Tightness in the back of the 
calf that then leads to Achilles

83
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:39,100
tendonitis, or plantar 
fasciitis, for some patients 

84
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:44,400
that can be caused by flat feet 
over pronation increasing your 

85
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,600
activity. 
The big, the big story I get is 

86
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,900
people, they go to Disney and 
they don't have plantar 

87
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:52,900
fasciitis, and they come back 
with plantar fasciitis, 

88
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:55,100
basically, because they've been 
on their feet for six or eight 

89
00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:57,500
hours a day and they're in 
flip-flops. 

90
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,800
And then the, yeah, and on 
cement and they're walking a 

91
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,800
whole bunch, or they're starting
to Work out there trying to do a

92
00:05:03,808 --> 00:05:06,800
marathon or half-marathon and 
then they get it and it never 

93
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,700
calms down if you get help right
away, it can calm down and it 

94
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:14,000
can you can get help. 
What I was talking about in 

95
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,600
terms of the Imaging, you can 
either do an ultrasound or an 

96
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,300
x-ray. 
We always get x-rays first to 

97
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:24,400
see if there's any bones for, 
but it's not as important in my 

98
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,000
opinion, if you have a Spur, not
a Spur shows that you have 

99
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,500
traction on either the faccia or
on the Achilles. 

100
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:37,000
So basically this is an example 
of the right plantar fascia. 

101
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,000
This is the heel in, this is the
fashion, this little fibrous 

102
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,900
thing. 
If you pull hard enough on this 

103
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:47,400
bone, it's going to create a 
Spur out here, that's called 

104
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,900
Wolff's law, your body, it 
responds to pulling over a 

105
00:05:51,907 --> 00:05:53,800
period of time. 
So the goal is to reduce that 

106
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,000
polling or that traction but 
what happens with the faccia, if

107
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,200
it's been there for a while, you
can see this thickness, the 

108
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,500
distance between the two A's and
then the distance right here 

109
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:08,500
between the two ways, this it 
looks darker looks black and 

110
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:10,700
it's thicker. 
That's chronic. 

111
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:15,000
Your fashio says it gets thick 
and over time if you're looking 

112
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,600
at an ultrasound in a patient 
that just has plantar fasciitis,

113
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,800
it's going to look the same 
thickness in the same color. 

114
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,900
If it's been there for a couple 
of months, it's going to get why

115
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:26,200
it's going to get black and it's
going to get thicker. 

116
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,300
And that means there's chronic 
effusion or swelling inside of 

117
00:06:30,308 --> 00:06:32,100
that tissue. 
And you may need a different 

118
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:33,800
type of treatment to get rid of 
that. 

119
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,200
The longer it is, I usually use 
three months, if you've had it 

120
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,000
for three months, you're going 
to probably need some of the 

121
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,200
more advanced treatments, if 
it's less than three months. 

122
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,200
You know, you came in sooner but
most people don't come in right 

123
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,400
away. 
This is a lengthwise evaluation 

124
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,700
of an Achilles. 
You can see this little black 

125
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:51,900
line. 
So it's looking right down the 

126
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:56,200
Achilles and this has a little 
bit of a tear right in that area

127
00:06:56,300 --> 00:06:59,600
and then it's thicker. 
Once again this thickness is 

128
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,700
kind of like scar tissue in that
doesn't allow it to be as 

129
00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:05,500
flexible and that needs 
treatment and you know, get 

130
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:06,700
kill. 
He's is a hard area because you 

131
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:08,700
can't really do a cortisone 
injection to that because it 

132
00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:10,900
could cause a rupture. 
And so that's those are kind of 

133
00:07:10,900 --> 00:07:13,400
the Yeah, they aspects of the 
energy so just going to talk a 

134
00:07:13,407 --> 00:07:14,500
little bit about stretching 
here. 

135
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,800
So stretching is key and that's 
what we kind of promote. 

136
00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:20,400
When the patient comes in will 
ask them what they're stretching

137
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,800
program is. 
And they're probably have 

138
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,500
nothing at all. 
They just know, I just go 

139
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:25,300
running. 
I just go exercise and I don't 

140
00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:28,300
have time for stretching so most
of the patients that are here 

141
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:30,300
from physical therapy because 
they don't stretch. 

142
00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:34,300
So we'll go over a nice routine 
of good stretching will make 

143
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:35,900
sure that they know the 
stretching, they have the 

144
00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:38,300
stretching of the pictures word,
so they can work on their own 

145
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:41,100
stretching along with that, we 
do the foam rolling. 

146
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:43,100
Make sure their pelvis is 
aligned, make sure all the 

147
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:46,800
joints are working, so that the 
whole leg is working for the 

148
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,000
foot and the foot is working for
the legs. 

149
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:52,300
So, Joe talked a little bit 
about your habits. 

150
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:54,200
Let's say someone has Achilles 
or plantar fascia. 

151
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:57,800
How many minutes do they need to
dedicate to stretching or here's

152
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,500
an example of a foam rolling? 
How much time are they gonna 

153
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:02,800
have to? 
We usually film about two 

154
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,100
minutes per muscle area. 
So they're going to get on their

155
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:08,600
Catholic and go back and forth 
and get to work it out for a 

156
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,900
good, two minutes different 
angles so they can take their 

157
00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:12,000
foot. 
They're going to Is the foot 

158
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,200
angle back and forth like their 
Comic-Con was like running in 

159
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,800
and out. 
Try to hit the different fibers 

160
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,700
of each of those muscles. 
How many times a day it's up to 

161
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:22,000
them. 
At least once or twice. 

162
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
But if you know they're 
exercising, run, we want to do 

163
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,700
before and after would just to 
keep everything nice and loose 

164
00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:28,700
and shouldn't hurt. 
Is it okay to hurt? 

165
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:32,500
It's Gonna Hurt, it's just that 
determining. 

166
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:35,100
What kind of heard it is a bad 
hurt that we have to hold off? 

167
00:08:35,299 --> 00:08:37,799
If it's a good working her 
that's still okay? 

168
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,200
And after we can ice and stem or
whatever they want to do to kind

169
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,000
of calm down, And then how about
those those those the the people

170
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
run pushing against the wall, 
the runners stretch here, 

171
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,900
letting your heels go. 
Down the E Centric, contracture,

172
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:52,600
explain that a little bit, those
types of stresses of nice. 

173
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,200
Good, lengthen and stretch. 
I usually tell them not to 

174
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:57,400
stretch to the point where it's 
painful. 

175
00:08:57,500 --> 00:09:00,200
It shouldn't be too painful, but
should get a good comfortable 

176
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,200
stretch out of it. 
Yeah, I think a lot of times you

177
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,500
go to see a doctor and they'll 
just recommend stretching 

178
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,600
Primary Care. 
You go to your primary care. 

179
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,900
They're going to recommend a 
shoe insert, maybe a new shoe 

180
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:12,900
and then stretching and time. 
Andres icing and fed doesn't get

181
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:14,500
better. 
Then the probably send you to 

182
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:20,000
physical therapy or to see a 
podiatrist, I think foam rolling

183
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,400
is in deep tissue, work is key. 
And then if so, I basically foam

184
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,400
rolling, is that two to three 
minutes on each muscle group. 

185
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,800
Maybe I say ten minutes in the 
morning, ten minutes at night, 

186
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,100
that's what eyes. 
And then during the day you can 

187
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:35,400
do your stretches like if you're
at work or if you're at a stair 

188
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,500
or something else like that. 
But you have to become part of 

189
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:39,700
your routine. 
Now, even when they recovered, 

190
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,100
do they have to continue doing 
this? 

191
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:44,000
Yeah, they'll keep them out of 
the doctor's office and other 

192
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,300
PC. 
Keep working. 

193
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:46,700
Keep stretching keep foam 
rolling. 

194
00:09:47,100 --> 00:10:01,600
Yeah I think a lot of people 
all the time and you can speak 

195
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,300
better to that but everything 
gets kind of tight and then 

196
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:06,300
people start working out. 
I go to Disney or something like

197
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:07,600
that. 
And they Wonder well how come I 

198
00:10:07,608 --> 00:10:10,400
developed heel pain or something
like that for sure? 

199
00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:14,600
Yeah. 
Okay, talk about this here, 

200
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,500
what's this? 
All right, so another way we can

201
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:19,500
adapt the tissue or a kind of 
break up that strategy called 

202
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:22,500
fiberglassing. 
So, we have tools and see the 

203
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:24,900
tools up here. 
Use the tools that people love 

204
00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:27,900
to hate because they hate it 
when we do it, but they love it 

205
00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:29,400
after it, because they feel so 
much better. 

206
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:31,100
So, basically, we are digging 
into the muscle. 

207
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:33,800
We're breaking up while the 
fibers and we're stretching it 

208
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,700
out, so we'll do it at different
angles at different points, it 

209
00:10:37,700 --> 00:10:40,600
will do it action, but movement,
sometimes just so we can break 

210
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,000
up those five or so we can get 
The muscle working better. 

211
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,400
It's what technologically, what 
is it doing to the tissue? 

212
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,600
Is it lengthening? 
It? 

213
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,500
Is it helping it to repair? 
Or what is it? 

214
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:54,700
Doing all the mom. 
So basically we're breaking up 

215
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:57,600
the scar tissue, increasing the 
blood flow, and we'll do it at 

216
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,000
different points of the joint 
angles so that we can hit 

217
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,700
different areas of the muscles. 
Yeah, and so what Joe's talking 

218
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:08,900
about on that ultrasound when I 
showed you that it was thicker, 

219
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:12,700
I guess you could call that scar
tissue or a thickened tissue and

220
00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:15,700
then he takes this any, any rubs
it on that area. 

221
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,600
What I find is that when you do 
treatment such as this or shock 

222
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,200
wave, it can actually thin down 
over time, that swelling goes 

223
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,200
down from within that tissue and
it can thin it down to more of a

224
00:11:27,208 --> 00:11:29,200
normal level. 
But just like, scarring, 

225
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,200
anywhere else. 
For example, if you have a 

226
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,000
surgery or if you have a cut 
it's going to be initially, 

227
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,700
swollen thick and scarred. 
And then over about six months 

228
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:42,200
to a year it's going to remodel 
and it's going to get That 

229
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,800
thinner little line, you're 
always going to have a scar but 

230
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,200
the whole goal is that it's not 
as swollen and part of the 

231
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,800
problem is we never stopped in 
a. 

232
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,300
We are always busy, I find 
especially kids. 

233
00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:58,800
You know, we don't see this as 
much in kids but like we're 

234
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,600
going from one sport to another 
sport. 

235
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,200
Were either sitting down or very
active and no one gives anything

236
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,500
a chance to kind of rest and 
recover. 

237
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,100
So it's an issue. 
How important our shoes Joe She 

238
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:15,000
was our key. 
So we have pronate and supinate 

239
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,200
has in neutral feet and most 
Runners. 

240
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,100
Even there if they've been doing
multiple marathons, really don't

241
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:22,400
know about their feet. 
You'll find a particular sneaker

242
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,000
and they'll just go with it and 
more likely are in pain. 

243
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:27,800
But once we see them will 
evaluate their foot to see if 

244
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,700
which, what type they are. 
And there's different shoes that

245
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:34,000
fit for different kinds of fees,
especially for runners on the 

246
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,100
top, right? 
You'll see the new balance, you 

247
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:39,700
see the yellow band in there and
that's a guys, it's a pronated. 

248
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:42,500
So it's an anti pronate. 
So it's a bar It's somewhat like

249
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:45,800
let your foot came in as much 
and that will cause the 

250
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,100
pronation pain cause deep and 
right up to the hip pain for 

251
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:52,000
these Runners. 
The one on the bottom is more of

252
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,700
a neutral, you can see where 
it's just basically nice, good 

253
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:58,300
Soul, nice cushion, soft as 
someone that has it more neutral

254
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:01,300
foot and needs that needs to be 
able to select just like through

255
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:04,700
when they're going through the 
running process and that's after

256
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:07,000
afterwards when you feel nice. 
And so again it's a nice good 

257
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:09,400
sandal like that. 
It just makes you feel good. 

258
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,100
Yeah, I keep it real simple. 
One asked me. 

259
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:14,000
Hey Doc, am I gonna have to wear
ugly shoes? 

260
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,600
The rest of my life. 
I say. 

261
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,800
It's for now. 
It's not forever, okay? 

262
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:24,000
And I say when you're at home, 
if you don't want to wear shoes,

263
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,400
I like either a new foe or 
there's a Hoka sandal something 

264
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,100
with a really good arch support 
when you're when you're at home 

265
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:34,300
or it's a better alternative to 
a flip-flop. 

266
00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:36,600
Now, you can tell something's 
good when you give it to your 

267
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,400
mom. 
So when my mom came and visited 

268
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:43,300
me, she had bunion surgery and I
put her in these things and she 

269
00:13:43,300 --> 00:13:45,600
absolutely love them. 
It could be from the cushion, 

270
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,200
could be from the arch, but 
there's a lot of things. 

271
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,600
These shoes are great. 
Now, specifically, I want to 

272
00:13:51,608 --> 00:13:54,100
talk a little bit about a little
to get a little technical here, 

273
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:57,900
a lot of shoes. 
You can see here, it's thicker 

274
00:13:57,900 --> 00:14:01,500
at the heel than it is at the 
toe. 

275
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,000
And it has this little curvature
thing here. 

276
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:06,600
So, this is kind of like a 
little rocker in the front of 

277
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,000
the foot. 
And this is a probably, a five 

278
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,700
to seven millimeter drop what 
that Ins is the height here, 

279
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,100
down to there is about five 
millimeters. 

280
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:18,700
This works well with someone, 
with Achilles tendonitis and 

281
00:14:18,700 --> 00:14:22,100
finer fasciitis, because if you 
have a group called a zero drop 

282
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:27,000
shoe or it's exactly the same 
height that's going to put more 

283
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,400
pressure on the back of the 
Achilles now. 

284
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,200
Even though I do recommend a lot
of shoes that are zero drop, I 

285
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,000
find that when you're recovering
from one of these conditions, 

286
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,600
you tend to do better with the 
shoe with a little bit of a heel

287
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,100
in it. 
Is that what you find as well 

288
00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:41,100
for sure? 
Yeah. 

289
00:14:41,700 --> 00:14:45,600
Some of my achilles patients 
I'll ask them. 

290
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,500
Have they changed their shoes 
and then someone will go from 

291
00:14:48,500 --> 00:14:51,400
the zero drop two and another 
sneaker or Nike sticking with a 

292
00:14:51,408 --> 00:14:54,300
higher heel bed and that's 
what's probably given the issues

293
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,100
are going to a higher arch for 
actually lower. 

294
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:23,900
Look down and see where you're 
at, in terms of shoes. 

295
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:29,500
Can they go to? 
Like I said O, My People sneak 

296
00:15:29,500 --> 00:15:32,200
around Mama, we have a script 
will write down the script, it 

297
00:15:32,208 --> 00:15:34,500
will validate the foot. 
They look at the script. 

298
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:37,000
They look at the sneakers, 
they'll choose they'll give them

299
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,300
three or four options and that's
how we usually do it. 

300
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:41,800
Yeah, the real key is you want 
to go to a place that We're 

301
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,900
going to watch you walk and 
they'll be able to get something

302
00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:46,900
that's appropriate for you. 
You know. 

303
00:15:46,900 --> 00:15:49,200
I can't emphasize when you're 
when you're starting to deal 

304
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,800
with heel pain. 
If you're if you're just in the 

305
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,100
beginning it's about its shoes 
as key. 

306
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,900
And you may say oh I have tons 
of shoes. 

307
00:15:55,900 --> 00:15:59,200
I particularly don't like some 
of these cuter shoes, the 

308
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,500
Skechers, the Nikes, the things 
like that, they have really kept

309
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:04,500
up with the technology, whereas 
the New Balance, the Saucony, 

310
00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:07,600
the A6 and things like that. 
They have a better shoot. 

311
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,600
Now, for those patients doing to
come in and say, you know, you 

312
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,500
know, Joe, I tried I'd 10 shoes 
in my heel, still doesn't feel 

313
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:16,400
better. 
What do you tell them? 

314
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,100
That's when I you should promote
doctor Pelt, 04 Orthotics. 

315
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:22,300
And, you know, we'll take them, 
see how the taping feeling if 

316
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:24,100
that feels. 
Well, go see, dr. 

317
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:25,800
Kelso for Orthotics, and we're 
from there. 

318
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,500
Yeah, Joe that's the key is like
if you've tried 20 pairs of 

319
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,600
shoes and the shoes of hurts, 
and it only hurts on your right 

320
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,500
foot because your right foot as 
pain pressure to the problem 

321
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:36,000
isn't the shoe don't go buying 
more shoes and don't you can 

322
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,800
spend like thousands of dollars 
on Amazon trying to buy every 

323
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,600
single thing don't do that. 
Save a lot of time and a lot of 

324
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,400
money by seeing someone. 
So, how about activity, 

325
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,700
modifications, if your want to 
stay active? 

326
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,300
Sure. 
So, if the running or the 

327
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:53,300
walking part hurts, this other 
ways of doing it. 

328
00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:57,300
So, you're walking or running on
the cement or Tire, you can get 

329
00:16:57,300 --> 00:16:59,400
you onto a treadmill or you can 
go to a track. 

330
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,600
That's a lot softer. 
That'll help out a little bit. 

331
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,400
You can do some cycling cycle, 
will keep you going but I won't 

332
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,900
put a lot for stir that through 
your foot. 

333
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,000
Strengthen your core is always 
key and then for some people if 

334
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,300
they're running, if they're 
doing a marathon and they can't 

335
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:14,599
really put a lot of weight, 
we'll get him, the pool and 

336
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:17,400
we'll do some In the pool that 
will burn them out real quick. 

337
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,500
We'll give them the all the 
exercise but it won't put all 

338
00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:23,300
that force on that foot and 
there's a special pred know that

339
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:26,700
they make right. 
The that was a cup of G-Force if

340
00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:29,700
you're for yeah and you're 
pretty much sit in a saddle and 

341
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:32,500
then it you can take off 50% of 
the way, 30 percent of the 

342
00:17:32,508 --> 00:17:33,800
weight. 
And you can still get that 

343
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,000
cardio that you like that's a 
good option if you're having a 

344
00:17:37,008 --> 00:17:39,700
lot of pain. 
Now, how about if someone let's 

345
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:43,000
say Joe someone has pain when 
they get up in the morning but 

346
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,900
when they do their stretches and
things like that, everything 

347
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:47,500
goes Away. 
Can they be as active or how do 

348
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:49,500
you determine how active you can
be? 

349
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:52,100
Yeah, they can be a source is 
the pains gone. 

350
00:17:52,100 --> 00:17:53,600
Let them do what they're 
workout. 

351
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,800
It is and it's all by space on 
the pain. 

352
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,200
If the pain increases that we 
have to slow down a little bit. 

353
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,600
Yeah, I always say if you're 
limping and if you're changing 

354
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,300
your gate, or if you're going to
injure yourself because of 

355
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:07,200
because you're a cheap 
accommodating, how you're going 

356
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,400
to injure yourself, you're gonna
have to go see Joe, you're going

357
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,800
to throw your hip off. 
You're going to throw something 

358
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,400
else off because you're changing
your gate. 

359
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:16,300
If it's that level you're going 
to have Switch your activity 

360
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:19,700
temporarily until you get calm 
until you calm down. 

361
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:23,700
So I'm going to talk a little 
bit about some of the initial 

362
00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:25,900
treatments. 
I'm not going to go into detail 

363
00:18:25,900 --> 00:18:29,600
about all of those like hundreds
of treatment, but a few things, 

364
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,400
if you're trying to deal with 
this, something that you may not

365
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,700
have heard of is something 
called a contrast bath, and 

366
00:18:35,700 --> 00:18:38,900
everyone knows about like taking
the bottle of water and rolling 

367
00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:41,700
on the bottom of the foot or a 
bottle on the back of the calf 

368
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,300
of ice water. 
But a contrast bath, if you've 

369
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:47,600
never tried it, you take a 
bucket of ice water in a bucket 

370
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,400
of hot water. 
You know, you don't want to burn

371
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,300
yourself and You five minutes in
the ice water, five minutes in 

372
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:55,700
the hot water, and then 5 and 
Ice. 

373
00:18:55,700 --> 00:19:00,900
You always start and end in the 
ice water and what that does is 

374
00:19:00,900 --> 00:19:04,100
it, basically restarts reboots 
the computer. 

375
00:19:04,100 --> 00:19:06,500
So it's going to cause the ice 
is going to cause 

376
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:09,100
vasoconstriction. 
Meaning it's going to shrink 

377
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:12,700
down the the hot water is going 
to vasodilate, it's going to 

378
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:15,800
swell and then it's going to 
shrink down again, it's kind of 

379
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,100
shocking the area to help 
increase the blood flow, all of 

380
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:22,200
its blood flow getting to that 
area. 

381
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,700
So if you want to think about 
it, if you want your body to 

382
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:28,800
heal itself, you have to have 
adequate blood flow and there 

383
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,800
are things that can restrict the
blood flow. 

384
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:31,900
Okay. 
And that's what we're going to 

385
00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:35,900
talk about anti-inflammatories. 
I don't do more than two weeks 

386
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:39,600
of an anti-inflammatory. 
It can be used temporarily. 

387
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:45,800
If you like okay I II once in a 
while you do a prednisone, not 

388
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,100
too much. 
I'm not too much of an 

389
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:49,200
anti-inflammatory person. 
I think you should work on the 

390
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,400
treatments of getting rid of the
pain. 

391
00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:54,900
I want to talk a little bit 
about offloading. 

392
00:19:54,900 --> 00:19:58,600
Now, the reason I want to talk 
about this is because if you 

393
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,000
want to stay active, you're 
going to have to take the 

394
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,900
tension off the faccia or off 
the Achilles and there are 

395
00:20:06,908 --> 00:20:09,300
different levels of pain 
reduction. 

396
00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:12,600
I'm going to start with the kind
of the most severe so if your 

397
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,900
pain level is 8 9 or a 10, what 
we call an on that visual analog

398
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:18,500
scale. 
Basically you look at the 

399
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:21,600
frowning face and a happy face. 
And if you're if you're 

400
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,600
basically a limping around, 
you're going to probably need to

401
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,900
be in a walking boot for a short
period of time or if you have a 

402
00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:29,200
tear or something else like 
that. 

403
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,600
Now the key I you see so many 
people they come in with the 

404
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,600
boot but then they complain of 
hip pain or back pain or 

405
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,700
something else like that. 
That's why I just want to take a

406
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:40,100
moment to talk about this thing.
This is called an even up. 

407
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:44,100
So if you ever get a boot or if 
you ever see someone that has a 

408
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:47,700
boot in there, limping around 
you have you can use an even up 

409
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:50,300
or you can use your shoe with a 
little bit of a heel so you can 

410
00:20:50,300 --> 00:20:52,200
just Mine on Amazon is called 
even up. 

411
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:56,800
So that's the worst amount of 
pain, the next, the next kind of

412
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,700
the if you're if you're only in 
moderate pain, there are two 

413
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:03,200
options. 
What is called an air cast in? 

414
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,800
The other one is called a 
velocity brace and I want to 

415
00:21:05,808 --> 00:21:09,000
explain both of these. 
The purpose of these are to be 

416
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,100
used temporarily, okay? 
Just like the boot. 

417
00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:15,800
You're not using these forever, 
the are past. 

418
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,300
It has a bladder of are in the 
bottom and a bladder of are in 

419
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:23,700
the Back of the Achilles. 
So as you're walking, it's 

420
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:26,400
pushing the air back and forth 
with a little tube and it's 

421
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,200
massaging the back of the 
Achilles to increase blood flow.

422
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,000
And it's as you push here, it's 
taking pressure off the heel so 

423
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,000
it can be used both for plantar 
fasciitis, and achilles 

424
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,100
tendonitis, this isn't my first 
go to that. 

425
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:42,300
These are for people that have 
quite a bit of pain and you do 

426
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:46,600
this, I would say for two to 
four weeks, For patients that 

427
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,200
that need more stability to 
avoid pronation. 

428
00:21:50,700 --> 00:21:55,200
This is called a velocity brace.
It's kind of like an afo. 

429
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,200
An afo is an ankle, so it 
involves the ankle and a foot 

430
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,600
and it's an orthotic. 
So it has a little orthotic 

431
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,300
piece in the bottom, and it also
has an ankle brace. 

432
00:22:05,300 --> 00:22:09,400
So this won't allow people to 
invert or E vert. 

433
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,500
It won't allow that pronation to
happen and it puts less strain. 

434
00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:16,100
So specifically patients. 
Have posterior tibial, 

435
00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:19,300
tendonitis or tendinitis on this
tender on the inside or a lot of

436
00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:21,000
flattening, they're going to 
work. 

437
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,600
Well in this, another reason 
that this works well is because 

438
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,600
it works in one unit. 
And what I say is my expectation

439
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,800
is about 30% of the pressure is 
going to go into the lower leg. 

440
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,600
So it's going to attenuate or 
take the pressure off the back 

441
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,200
of the Achilles and off the 
faccia, input it into the lower 

442
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,400
leg. 
It's a lot easier to get used to

443
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,500
this. 
That it is a big bulky boot. 

444
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,400
These are both. 
'The only used I would say two 

445
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,700
to four weeks when you're in the
recovery period, I don't use it 

446
00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:54,400
for a long, long time. 
Once people are feeling better 

447
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,200
than I'm going to transition 
them to an orthotic. 

448
00:22:57,700 --> 00:23:01,400
In the way I use Orthotics is I 
use it to correct posture? 

449
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,300
Okay. 
Go ahead. 

450
00:23:03,300 --> 00:23:04,600
So our thoughts are different 
types. 

451
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,900
You can try an over-the-counter 
insert and there are different 

452
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:11,200
ones once again, if you're going
to get an insert, please don't 

453
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,400
hope dr. 
Scholl's isn't listening but 

454
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,400
don't get a doctor, Scholl's. 
They're overpriced, and they're 

455
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,700
not doing anything where I would
recommend is going to sneak 

456
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:22,100
around mama. 
And what you're going to find is

457
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,500
you're going to find an 
over-the-counter insert. 

458
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:27,400
There's like a spend Co 
something that's more rigid 

459
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,900
because when it's rigid, it's 
actually doing something 

460
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,400
patients, can start with an 
over-the-counter one. 

461
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,200
But the main key, and I want to 
explain this for everyone is, 

462
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,300
when you have an orthotic, they 
did some research and they found

463
00:23:40,300 --> 00:23:44,600
that with the faccia, the 
higher, the orthotic Contours, 

464
00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:48,300
as to the foot, the better, it 
takes the strain and stress off 

465
00:23:48,300 --> 00:23:50,700
the fashion and what you'll find
is a normal. 

466
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:54,400
Insert is going to be a big gap 
between there in that Gap. 

467
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,500
Still allows pronation and it 
doesn't take as much strain off.

468
00:23:57,500 --> 00:24:00,400
That's the reason we do a custom
one because it basically sits 

469
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,000
right with the arch and it that 
takes more of the strain off and

470
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,600
you just can't do that with an 
over-the-counter because you 

471
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,800
don't have an over-the-counter 
foot and no one does. 

472
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,700
But for a lot of patients in 
over the counters, a good way to

473
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:14,100
start. 
And if that's not enough, then 

474
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:15,900
we'll move some Into a custom 
orthotic. 

475
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:19,100
And that's, and that's, and 
they're made to be used, maybe 

476
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:20,700
not the rest of your life. 
Everyone asked me to have to 

477
00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:22,300
warm the rest of my life. 
Probably not. 

478
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:24,200
You're going to wear them until 
you feel better. 

479
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,200
And then for certain types of 
activities that could aggravate 

480
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,900
your plantar fascial, anything 
else you want to say about 

481
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:32,200
these? 
How about a patient that has the

482
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,600
Orthotics. 
But there's still having pain 

483
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,500
and if I tape them, they feel 
better. 

484
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:38,900
Yeah. 
I think taping is great and I 

485
00:24:38,908 --> 00:24:42,900
don't tape you guys tape. 
I think what taping does is it 

486
00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:47,000
holds everything in proper Ian, 
I a lot of a lot of doctors what

487
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,300
they do is if they have a custom
orthotic already, then that 

488
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:52,800
custom orthotic isn't contouring
enough so you may need something

489
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,400
that's even higher. 
Yeah in the big problem for us 

490
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,000
going to high is that it's not 
going to be comfortable. 

491
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:00,600
But doing a higher one is going 
to feel even better. 

492
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,600
That's why that taping feels 
good that extra support but you 

493
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,100
can't take for the rest of your 
life. 

494
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:06,500
No. 
Do you still have to kind of get

495
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:10,400
that, get that area down. 
You may need a higher contouring

496
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,400
or thought because there are a 
lot they are there. 

497
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,600
A lot of places around the they 
say it's a custom orthotic. 

498
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,500
But it's really not. 
They see how it's made for you. 

499
00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:19,900
You step in a box or something 
else like that, the way we do it

500
00:25:19,900 --> 00:25:22,900
as perfect a 3D scanner and we 
make it specifically for you. 

501
00:25:22,900 --> 00:25:24,500
So you have to go to a place. 
Yeah. 

502
00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:25,500
Are they going to be more 
expensive? 

503
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:26,800
Yeah. 
But these over-the-counter ones 

504
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,200
the last maybe six months and 
you have to change it. 

505
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:35,500
So and then I want to talk a 
little bit about questions about

506
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:38,300
doing a cortisone injection and 
then there's a new type of 

507
00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:43,000
therapy called Shockwave. 
So, the way I think about it is 

508
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,100
it, if you're in a lot of pain, 
if you're limping around, if 

509
00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:50,000
you've had this and you just 
can't function in life. 

510
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:53,000
And so basically, if you're 
looking at an eight, nine or ten

511
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,000
pain, You can't tolerate 
Shockwave, you can't tolerate 

512
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,200
Physical Therapy, you're going 
to be living around. 

513
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,000
You can't do anything. 
So for patients, like that, if 

514
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,700
it's in the heel, I will do a 
cortisone injection, okay? 

515
00:26:07,300 --> 00:26:11,500
If it's under eight, if it's 
seven or below and then if I do 

516
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:14,900
an ultrasound and I see that 
it's thicker, that's where I'll 

517
00:26:14,900 --> 00:26:18,200
recommend the shock wave now, I 
don't do this. 

518
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,900
Usually first line meaning. 
What I do first is I say, change

519
00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:24,400
your shoes, try the inserts, try
the ice, You can try the 

520
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,800
anti-inflammatories if that 
doesn't work, then what I tend 

521
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,800
to do is I switch to the shock 
wave, and the physical therapy, 

522
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:32,200
okay? 
People start with the foam 

523
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,800
rolling and then if that doesn't
work, then they go into the 

524
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,300
shock wave in the physical 
therapy. 

525
00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:38,700
What? 
How this works? 

526
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,400
There are two types of shock 
waves. 

527
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,800
But you see, this little thing 
that looks like a bullet. 

528
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,500
This bullet runs back and forth,
and it hits this piece of metal 

529
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,100
in a create something called 
radial shockwaves, okay? 

530
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,100
There's two different devices we
have One that's focused in one. 

531
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:58,600
That's radial, I'm just showing 
you the radio one, this is the 

532
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,100
one that we've had for a number 
of years. 

533
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,600
But what does it do? 
Basically areas that are 

534
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,100
chronically, injured like the 
fashion in the Achilles tendon, 

535
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:09,200
they get thick and they get 
scarred. 

536
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,600
And if you know anything about 
Scar Tissue, it doesn't have the

537
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,100
best blood flow. 
The flow is bad. 

538
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:18,000
And what what, you try to do 
with your breasts and technique,

539
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:22,100
or there's another Physical 
Therapy modality called dry 

540
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:26,400
needling, and That, what that 
does is that tries to increase 

541
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,600
the blood flow to the area. 
So your own body heals it. 

542
00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:31,500
Okay. 
And that's what this does. 

543
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,700
I whack the heck out of it and 
it increases the blood flow. 

544
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:37,200
So during the course of 
treatment with shockwave, you 

545
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,900
can't do any anti-inflammatories
Motrin ibuprofen. 

546
00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:42,800
You can do Tylenol, two days 
before and two days after, and 

547
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,400
we do between three and six 
sessions in what that does is 

548
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,400
that increases the blood flow to
the area. 

549
00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:51,600
And it's Matt, it's almost like 
magic and it takes away the 

550
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,200
pain. 
There are some other Advanced 

551
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,600
ones. 
Well like platelet-rich plasma 

552
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,000
or amnio injections, we might do
those if there's a tear or 

553
00:27:59,008 --> 00:28:01,500
something else we specifically 
see on the ultrasound but this 

554
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:04,300
is our go-to for treating. 
I used to do ton of cortisone, 

555
00:28:04,300 --> 00:28:06,500
but what I found with cortisone,
I had a patient today. 

556
00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:11,300
I did a cortisone, he had a four
weeks ago and he was feeling a 

557
00:28:11,300 --> 00:28:13,300
little bit better for about two 
to three weeks. 

558
00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:15,300
And then all of a sudden, all 
the pain came back. 

559
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:18,900
The reason for that is 
cortisone, only lasts about 

560
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:20,700
four. 
Four to six weeks depending on 

561
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:22,500
what type you put in. 
We do a combination of a 

562
00:28:22,508 --> 00:28:26,300
short-acting and a Long acting 
and then what I find is, what it

563
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:28,800
wears off. 
If you don't change the tissue 

564
00:28:28,900 --> 00:28:31,800
or the structure with the foam 
rolling and the physical therapy

565
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,400
in the offloading, it can come 
back, not for everyone but it 

566
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,700
can come back. 
But what this does is it 

567
00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:39,600
actually heals the tissue. 
What's been your experience? 

568
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,300
With this drone we're seeing a 
lot more patients, those truck 

569
00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:44,900
where they usually like it. 
They'll come in will do the 

570
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,300
stretching and the check out the
pelvis, getting all the joints 

571
00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:51,600
working, and we're just work 
with their pain level and 

572
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,200
getting them better. 
Yeah, I think it's A real 

573
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,800
practice changer, especially in 
the Achilles on the back and the

574
00:28:56,808 --> 00:28:59,400
Achilles you can't do cortisone 
because it could cause a 

575
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,100
rupture. 
So we really didn't have any 

576
00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:04,600
options besides doing a surgery.
If there's a big bump back there

577
00:29:04,900 --> 00:29:08,900
or something else. 
Now with patients that are not 

578
00:29:08,900 --> 00:29:11,000
coming from a podiatrist that 
have heel pain. 

579
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,300
What I'll do is I'll show them 
the book by Don Pelt. 

580
00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:17,300
Oh and open up the page which 
Shockwave so they can read about

581
00:29:17,300 --> 00:29:20,300
shock wave that I'll do you give
them the card so they can called

582
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:22,500
on and see if they can do the 
shockwaves for them. 

583
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,500
Yeah. 
I I can't, I can't it's really 

584
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:27,800
been a practice changer. 
There's been an only a few 

585
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,500
things subbing in this remote on
over 10 years now. 

586
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,300
But this has been a practice 
changer and it's something 

587
00:29:33,300 --> 00:29:35,700
that's it tended to start. 
I'll tell you a little history 

588
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:39,000
of it. 
Shockwave, it started in Germany

589
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:41,600
and it was used to break up 
kidney stones. 

590
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:44,100
So what they did is they put 
people in big things of water 

591
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:46,900
and they still use it to this 
day and they shoot these sound 

592
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:50,500
waves with his huge shock wave 
machine and it broke up the 

593
00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:52,800
kidney stones. 
But what they found is that 

594
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,600
people with chronic back I mean,
because a lot of times back pain

595
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,100
is caused by the tightness in 
the muscles, their back pain 

596
00:29:58,100 --> 00:29:59,700
went away and they're like, 
hmmm. 

597
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:01,400
I wonder why their back pain 
went away when were treating 

598
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,600
their kidneys and then the 
machines got smaller and 

599
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,900
smaller, and instead of putting 
people in water, now we put 

600
00:30:06,900 --> 00:30:10,100
ultrasound gel on it and what 
we're finding and it's not just 

601
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:12,100
using the foot. 
It's used pretty much everywhere

602
00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:15,300
in your body for area of chronic
inflammation to help it 

603
00:30:15,300 --> 00:30:17,700
naturally reduce it and I think 
the reason they do it more in 

604
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:20,800
Germany, is it might because I 
think it's covered by Insurance 

605
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,600
there and they're more natural 
than we are here. 

606
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,200
We're Like running the surgery 
there. 

607
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,300
They do everything they can to 
avoid surgery because they have 

608
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:30,300
public health and it takes 
forever to get a surgery. 

609
00:30:30,300 --> 00:30:31,900
So that's why they have some of 
those other options. 

610
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,700
There were a few questions that 
people ask. 

611
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:37,100
So I'd like you, if you're 
listening here and you have any 

612
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:40,800
other questions, put it in the 
chat box right now and we're 

613
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,100
going to start answering the 
questions that were sent over 

614
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:46,500
previously and then we'll answer
the other ones that people are 

615
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:50,800
putting it to us right now. 
So I'll ask you Joe, is it best 

616
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,000
to avoid impact exercises? 
Like aerobic exercises, while 

617
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,700
you're healing it all depends on
your pain level. 

618
00:30:57,900 --> 00:31:00,300
If you're able to do the 
exercise without causing 

619
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:03,700
increased pain, then it's okay 
if you're doing the exercise and

620
00:31:03,700 --> 00:31:06,000
causing more pain, that means 
you the tissues being 

621
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,500
overwhelmed, you got to cut it 
down and that's where we can go 

622
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:11,000
to the cycling. 
You get the swimming, you got 

623
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,300
the elliptical. 
That's not pounding as much, but

624
00:31:13,300 --> 00:31:15,200
still give me an aerobic 
capacity. 

625
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:20,900
Yeah, and I would say, try doing
the shoes And the the offloading

626
00:31:20,900 --> 00:31:24,700
with, either an orthotic, or 
something else to see how it's 

627
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:27,800
doing, or even one of those 
braces like that are cast, that 

628
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,600
you mentioned to me, that 
perfect, you could probably stay

629
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:36,300
being active with that. 
So how do you know what the 

630
00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:39,800
balances between pain and 
exercise therapy for achilles 

631
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,600
tendonitis. 
I don't, if you have any ideas 

632
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,300
here, the pain. 
So it's there's good pain in 

633
00:31:46,300 --> 00:31:48,400
this bad pain. 
If you're in that bad pains 

634
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:50,500
Zone. 
Once again, you're over texting 

635
00:31:50,500 --> 00:31:52,600
that tissue and it's not going 
to get better. 

636
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,300
So we going to cut it back here 
with otix global you're 

637
00:31:55,300 --> 00:31:57,900
stretching. 
The scraping, comment down in 

638
00:31:57,900 --> 00:32:03,000
the build from there. 
Perfect question, 3 plantar 

639
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,400
fasciitis versus achilles 
tendonitis treatment, any major 

640
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,500
differences any studies and this
was a saint by one of the 

641
00:32:09,508 --> 00:32:10,800
colleagues from physical 
therapy. 

642
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,800
I usually treat them pretty 
similar in terms of PT 

643
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,900
treatments in terms of plantar, 
fasciitis. 

644
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,600
I think there are almost exactly
the same. 

645
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,400
The only difference is, I think 
plantar fasciitis responds, much

646
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,900
better to orthotic therapy than 
achilles tendonitis. 

647
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,400
Achilles tendonitis, there's no,
not really Many studies about 

648
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,100
responding to to orthotic 
therapy. 

649
00:32:35,300 --> 00:32:38,000
I find that Achilles tendinitis 
tends to respond a little bit 

650
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,400
better to heal lips. 
So putting a he lifts in there. 

651
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:44,400
Taking the pull off temporarily,
that works for Achilles 

652
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,500
tendinitis also treatments in 
terms of what I do. 

653
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:50,300
I don't do cortisone on 
Achilles, I can do it on plantar

654
00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:54,200
fasciitis, the Shockwave is all 
the same, all the other icing 

655
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,800
anti-inflammatories, PT is 
pretty much the same, anything 

656
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,000
else that you do different for 
both of you. 

657
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,700
I usually go after the hip if 
the hip has really poor range 

658
00:33:02,700 --> 00:33:05,300
emotion when they're walking or 
running their always hitting in 

659
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:08,300
that same spot on the heel. 
So I Really Work the hip get 

660
00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:10,500
that range of motion better. 
So they have multiple angles 

661
00:33:10,500 --> 00:33:13,000
when they're walking, they're 
moving to different spots. 

662
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:19,100
Perfect. 
So, Joe which shoes are better 

663
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:22,900
or worse for it. 
We can address that but yeah, 

664
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:26,800
there's so many shoes out there.
Once we evaluate the foot, we 

665
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,700
figure out your opponent is 
super neutral. 

666
00:33:29,300 --> 00:33:32,200
And we sent you over to the 
Seeker stuff, they'll get the 

667
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,500
shoe on for him and from there 
we can evaluate, which you can 

668
00:33:34,500 --> 00:33:37,600
works for best for you. 
Yeah, and Joe, does it ever go 

669
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,800
away? 
Does it ever go away? 

670
00:33:40,900 --> 00:33:42,800
It should. 
But if you don't do your 

671
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,300
stretching, you don't do all 
your exercise. 

672
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:45,400
You don't do what you're 
supposed to do. 

673
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,300
It's going to creep back and 
basically just going to keep on 

674
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:50,900
doing it or you can come back to
us and we can figure out again. 

675
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,100
Yeah, I so I guess there's two 
ways of thinking about this 

676
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:57,900
question. 
It might go away and then come 

677
00:33:57,900 --> 00:33:59,800
back. 
If it's Coming back. 

678
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,700
It tends to be something 
structural that you're going to 

679
00:34:01,708 --> 00:34:03,700
need physical therapy for 
meaning. 

680
00:34:03,700 --> 00:34:07,400
You may have a pelvic issue, you
may have a stability issue, it 

681
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,100
might be a tightness issue. 
That's not addressed, maybe new 

682
00:34:10,100 --> 00:34:12,800
orthotic issue, something else 
like that, but it should go 

683
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,699
away. 
So, long away coming back, it's 

684
00:34:15,699 --> 00:34:17,500
usually because of that, I 
usually say, it's like an 

685
00:34:17,500 --> 00:34:20,699
incident meaning, you went to 
Disney, you went on a long walk.

686
00:34:20,699 --> 00:34:23,699
You're starting to train for 
something very commonly people 

687
00:34:23,699 --> 00:34:26,600
at train or starting to be more 
active, trying to lose weight, 

688
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,000
the Cavs, get tight, not usually
day one. 

689
00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:31,800
Wanted to day three. 
But after a few weeks and they 

690
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,400
start to have foot pain, it's 
because the tightness normally 

691
00:34:34,699 --> 00:34:37,000
and then the other for you if 
you're listening to this and 

692
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,000
you've had this for years and 
it's never gotten better. 

693
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
It's probably because you 
haven't had treatment or the 

694
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,699
right kind of treatment. 
I find many patients. 

695
00:34:43,699 --> 00:34:47,000
They come as a second opinion, 
they've like seen a doctor a 

696
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,199
number of times, but they just 
say, okay, I'll do 3 cortisone 

697
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:52,699
injections in an orthotic and if
you can't get better, you can't 

698
00:34:52,699 --> 00:34:54,300
get better. 
You know, you have to really 

699
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:56,900
advocate for yourself. 
There are some Advanced 

700
00:34:56,900 --> 00:35:00,700
treatments, but I do have a 
certain Number of patients that 

701
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:03,600
just might need a surgical 
procedure or something more 

702
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,800
involved. 
I think I've done this maybe one

703
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,500
surgery in the last three years.
There's not really surgery isn't

704
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:10,600
the option, okay? 
Isn't the best option but there 

705
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,000
are other people that can help 
you. 

706
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,100
So you have to kind of advocate 
for yourself and try to get 

707
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:16,600
help. 
Yeah. 

708
00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:19,400
And there are some other 
questions were going to address 

709
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,500
here before we finish up here 
for patients, who get custom 

710
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:24,600
orthotics. 
How long do they usually last? 

711
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,900
What do you tell them? 
So custom orthotics. 

712
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,600
Once again, you have to have the
sneaker and shoe to fit with it,

713
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,900
if you have the wrong shoe with 
the Orthotics, that's not going 

714
00:35:33,900 --> 00:35:37,500
to help as much. 
What we're talking three to five

715
00:35:37,500 --> 00:35:40,600
years, depending on how it was 
built, how was made? 

716
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,700
And you have to where you have 
to do. 

717
00:35:42,700 --> 00:35:44,700
All your stress is all the stuff
you do to keep it going. 

718
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,100
Yeah. 
Orthotics are kind of like 

719
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:48,300
glasses, right? 
I can't I don't wear my glasses 

720
00:35:48,300 --> 00:35:50,100
when I'm doing the webinars, but
I'm not wearing these. 

721
00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:53,000
I can't see far away but if I'm 
wearing them, I can see far away

722
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,400
it. 
So it corrects for mechanical 

723
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,900
instability in the foot and it's
the same thing with an orthotic 

724
00:35:57,300 --> 00:35:59,300
in the way I kind of explained. 
It is if you're doing Out of 

725
00:35:59,300 --> 00:36:02,600
walking, a lot of standing, 
you're probably going to feel 

726
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,100
better in them. 
Now, you may only need them for 

727
00:36:05,107 --> 00:36:07,100
a period of time to heal that 
injury, though, once you're 

728
00:36:07,100 --> 00:36:09,500
better, if you're an athlete, 
you can probably try to ditch 

729
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:10,900
them. 
But if you have a really really 

730
00:36:10,900 --> 00:36:13,500
collapsing foot, you're just 
going to feel better in them, 

731
00:36:13,500 --> 00:36:17,000
some patients just feel better 
because they're so collapsed for

732
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,500
them. 
There was some comments here 

733
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:23,400
about a book, I'll show you guys
how you can get these books if 

734
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,500
you want. 
I have them as a download and 

735
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:29,800
then in the at the PTA 
Greendale, they have them 

736
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,500
sitting there as well. 
So when patients are getting 

737
00:36:32,500 --> 00:36:34,800
shopping, this is a question 
here, when patients are getting 

738
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,000
shock wave therapy in an 
attending Physical Therapy. 

739
00:36:38,300 --> 00:36:42,700
Should they modify the exercise 
and all my opinion, if they're 

740
00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:44,700
getting Shockwave? 
It's usually for, let's say, for

741
00:36:44,700 --> 00:36:48,200
the heel, I'll have them. 
That session work, more on the 

742
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,000
calf region, okay? 
Or working on the poor stability

743
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,600
or something else like that 
because if it's way too painful.

744
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,900
But frankly, if you do Shockwave
that day, Would just the next 

745
00:36:59,900 --> 00:37:02,100
day, you should be better. 
Shockwave doesn't usually have 

746
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:05,100
much pain for a few days after 
it doesn't another thing about 

747
00:37:05,100 --> 00:37:09,000
Shockwave, Shockwave is an 
instantaneous, like, cortisone 

748
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,200
injection of cortisone, you get 
the cortisone, you're better 

749
00:37:11,700 --> 00:37:14,200
Shockwave to. 
It actually has to create new 

750
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,400
blood vessels, and blood flow to
the area and that takes six to 

751
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,300
eight weeks. 
So, just for you. 

752
00:37:19,300 --> 00:37:22,800
So, you know, so from day one of
shock wave to you actually start

753
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,000
seeing the results is six weeks.
And so if we do three sessions 

754
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,600
as you six weeks after that's 
when it started, And it works 

755
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,700
for like three or four months 
afterwards and it's not 

756
00:37:32,700 --> 00:37:34,200
instantaneous. 
So that's where you have to 

757
00:37:34,207 --> 00:37:37,700
control the load so people can 
kind of Be Active with that as 

758
00:37:37,700 --> 00:37:40,200
well. 
Another question here, I wear 

759
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,100
slippers at home, I think that 
may be part of my problem. 

760
00:37:43,700 --> 00:37:45,800
Can you be more specific on what
I can wear? 

761
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:50,700
What can they wear at home? 
So a good sandals of once again 

762
00:37:50,700 --> 00:37:53,300
I said I'm down to see Grandma. 
They have always good sandals 

763
00:37:53,300 --> 00:37:56,100
over there, they have good arch.
Support a lot of cushioning them

764
00:37:56,100 --> 00:37:58,600
in the much better in the house.
You come into the house, you 

765
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,900
take your shoes off, you're 
going to do sandals and you 

766
00:38:00,900 --> 00:38:03,400
could pick out. 
Yeah I think there's a couple of

767
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,200
Brands Spangled hasn't okay. 
One who follows have a good one.

768
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,200
Hoka has a good one and you can 
just wear shoes though. 

769
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,300
If you have a you get a second 
pair of shoes, I have a whole 

770
00:38:12,300 --> 00:38:14,900
shoe and wear that at home, and 
I think you're going to be, 

771
00:38:15,300 --> 00:38:17,200
you're going to be much better 
with that. 

772
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,200
So I think we answered all the 
questions. 

773
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:25,800
I put a little link here for the
the replay and resources. 

774
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,700
So if you're watching this, 
we're going to post this. 

775
00:38:28,700 --> 00:38:30,900
You can use your phone and kind 
of scan it and it'll go to a 

776
00:38:30,900 --> 00:38:33,700
blog post. 
And then you can also go to the 

777
00:38:33,700 --> 00:38:36,600
Greendale PT and contact them. 
They can give you a copy of this

778
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:37,600
video. 
If you want to listen to it 

779
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,200
afterwards. 
There's a couple of resources I 

780
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,400
make available on my blog after 
build a.com. 

781
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,100
It'll there's one thing on a 
heel and wanting to kill. 

782
00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:48,800
He's the one that Joe was 
referring to. 

783
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,200
I'm just going to open it up 
right here. 

784
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:51,400
Look at that. 
Doesn't even open up. 

785
00:38:52,700 --> 00:38:56,900
You have to have an Achilles 
with a capital A and it's a 

786
00:38:56,908 --> 00:38:58,800
little course, I put together. 
So it basically has a book. 

787
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,800
You can download a quick start 
guide, icing and contrast oofos,

788
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,700
shoes recommendations and then 
basically down here it's kind of

789
00:39:06,700 --> 00:39:09,200
cool because I put your how do 
you treat achilles tendonitis, 

790
00:39:09,700 --> 00:39:12,900
deep tissue, massage and 
loosening exercises actually 

791
00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:15,300
recorded this at Greendale PT a 
number of years ago. 

792
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:18,000
Trigger point tools. 
What To do when you get up in 

793
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,800
the morning this is kind of fun.
So it patients we talk about 

794
00:39:21,300 --> 00:39:25,100
core belly, breathing, doing a 
stretching routine before you 

795
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:26,600
get out of bed. 
This is to help that first step 

796
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,500
out of bed. 
Talk about Shockwave or E Pat 

797
00:39:29,900 --> 00:39:33,200
and amnio injections and then 
things like that. 

798
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,500
So there's other resources. 
So I take a lot of pride in 

799
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:38,600
doing these things. 
It's been a lot of fun and I 

800
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,700
really appreciate all the help 
over at Greendale PT. 

801
00:39:41,700 --> 00:39:44,500
So it's been great. 
I think we've answered all the 

802
00:39:44,500 --> 00:39:46,300
questions. 
I don't really see any other 

803
00:39:46,300 --> 00:39:48,600
questions here. 
If you guys have any more, you 

804
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,200
can post it. 
Otherwise we're going to stop 

805
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:52,500
this.
