Based on your current diagnosis of Psoriatic Arthritis, it is more likely that your foot pain is being caused by your arthritic condition. In addition to the joint pain and stiffness that psoriatic arthritis causes, you may also get swelling in the areas where tendons attach to bones, a condition called enthesitis. Common sites include the Achilles tendon attachment to the back of the heel and the attachment of plantar fascia (the tendon in the sole of the foot) to the heel. It would be wise to see your medical doctor and/or a chiropractic doctor to be examined and get a firm diagnosis. I hope that helps. It’s possible.

In August of 2011, my family Dr. diagnosed me with Psoriatic Arthritis after I suddenly developed joint pain and swelling over night. After testing we found my RA factor was high so he started me on Mobic for swelling. Today my RA factor is elevted but managable. However, I have sevier pain in my right foot no matter if it is when my feet hit the floor in the moring or if I've been seated for only a few minutes. The pain is in the arch area of my foot but mostly on the top where the long bones of the foot are. Since it is not the bottom of my foot could I be suffering from plantar fascitis?

The athletic shoes I recommend are a "motion control" shoe by New Balance.

In regards to orthotics, I always recommend a flexible orthotic, because the foot is flexible. If your restrict the motion of the foot with a rigid orthotic, the joints above the foot become hyper-mobile. This means that the bones of your ankle, knee, hips, and even spine can be negatively impacted by rigid orthotics. By all means, your orthotics should be comfortable to use. The typical break-in time to get accommodated to a new pair of orthotics is 2-4 weeks. If you are still having pain after that time, you should be re-evaluated by your doctor. If you are thinking of trying something new, give us a call and schedule an appointment. I would be happy to meet with you and discuss other options. Anna – Thanks for your kind wishes.

Plantar fasciitis left untreated can result in a heel spur. I would suggest that you make an appointment for your daughter as soon as possible. There may be a natural and simple solution to her problem. If you are in our area give us a call. If not, try to find a chiropractor in your area who works with Footlevelers custom spinal pelvic stabilizers. Feel free to give me a call if you have any other questions.

If your problem is simple plantar fascitis, there are several natural things I would recommend that can help fairly quickly. Foot/ankle adjustments, massage therapy, laser therapy, orthotics, and more. Laser therapy and/or ultrasound can also be helpful in the beginning phase of care (when things are inflamed and painful). I favor the laser because of its photobiologic effects. See http://spectrumwellness.net/laser-therapy-techniques/ for more details on our Laser technique. But for long term improvement, you have to address the biomechanical problem of your foot, with chiropractic adjustments of the foot and using spinal pelvic stabilizers for the feet. For more information on extremity adjustments see http://spectrumwellness.net/our-chiropractic-techniques/. For information on our FootLevelers spinal pelvic stabilizers see http://spectrumwellness.net/foot-levelers/. Anna, if I were in your position, I would call around your area and interview the doctors or their assistants and find out if they treat extremities (the feet in your case) and if they use FootLevelers spinal pelvic stabilizers.
