Relieve Plantar Fasciitis and Calcaneal Spur Pain with Ayurveda

Plantar fasciitis and calcaneal spur are two common foot conditions that can cause severe discomfort, making even simple activities like walking a painful experience. At Elixir Ayurveda Hospital and Wellness Centre, we offer holistic, non-invasive treatments rooted in the wisdom of Ayurveda to help you regain mobility and eliminate pain effectively.

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis and Calcaneal Spur

• Plantar Fasciitis: This condition occurs due to inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, connecting your heel bone to your toes. It often causes stabbing pain in the heel, especially during the first steps of the day.
• Calcaneal Spur: Also known as heel spur, it is a bony outgrowth on the heel bone that can develop due to excessive strain on foot muscles and ligaments, commonly seen alongside plantar fasciitis.

Ayurvedic Perspective

Ayurveda views plantar fasciitis and calcaneal spurs as imbalances in the Vata dosha, leading to inflammation and pain. These conditions are often aggravated by poor circulation, stress, improper footwear, and excessive strain on the feet.

At Elixir Ayurveda Hospital, we address the root cause rather than merely managing symptoms, ensuring long-lasting relief.

Ayurvedic Treatments for Plantar Fasciitis and Calcaneal Spur

1. Abhyanga (Therapeutic Oil Massage): A warm herbal oil massage increases blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and relaxes tight foot muscles, offering immediate relief from pain.
2. Swedana (Herbal Steam Therapy): Swedana helps in loosening stiff tissues and enhances the absorption of medicated oils. This therapy is particularly effective in soothing chronic heel pain.
3. Panchakarma Detox: A personalized detoxification program helps eliminate toxins that accumulate in the body, contributing to inflammation. This process restores the balance of Vata dosha, promoting overall healing.
4. Potli Massage (Kizhi): Potli massage uses warm herbal poultices to reduce inflammation and pain in the heel area. The combination of heat and herbs penetrates deep into the tissues, accelerating recovery.
5. Taila Dharana (Oil Retention Therapy): In this treatment, medicated oils are retained over the affected area to alleviate pain, soften tissues, and promote healing.
6. Herbal Medicines and Supplements: Customized herbal formulations like Ashwagandha, Guggulu, and Shallaki are prescribed to reduce inflammation and strengthen the connective tissues.
