Brief Summary

The term \"heel pain\" is used to describe a common, painful condition that is localized in the plantar part of the heel and worsens when weight is placed on the heel. Patients with heel pain are more likely to have thickened plantar fascia, abnormal plantar fascia tissue, thicker plantar heel fat pad, and calcaneal spur. Calcaneal spurs are bony protrusions that typically occur just in front of the medial calcaneal tuberosity. Systemic medical treatments, physical therapy agents, exercise and local injections are often applied for heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis and calcaneal spur. This study is to examine the effects of ESWT and kinesio taping on pain and other clinical outcomes in patients with calcaneal spurs.

Conditions

Calcaneal Spur; Plantar Fasciitis; Heel Pain

Keywords

calcaneal spur; extracorporeal shock wave therapy; kinesio taping; plantar fasciitis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pain level before treatment and 3rd month after treatment

  Pain level will be evaluated with the Numerical Rating Scale. (minimum: 0, maximum: 10)

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3rd month

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Assessment of heel sensitivity

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3rd month

• Assessment of functionality

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3rd month

• Assessment of quality of life

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3rd month

Study Arms (2)

Group 1 : ESWT treatment group

ESWT treatment is applied once a week for 5 weeks

Group 2 : Kinesio taping treatment group

Kinesio taping was also applied once a week, for a total of 5 sessions. The rake method was used for kinesio taping.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic of Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital with complaints of heel pain were evaluated. The data of patients who underwent ESWT and kinesio taping were compared with the information on the hospital system.

You may qualify if:

• Aged 18 years and over with heel pain
• A calcaneal spur seen on foot radiographs

You may not qualify if:

• Those who had received a steroid injection into the heel within the past three months
• Those who had experienced trauma or surgery to the foot and ankle within the past six months
• Those with a rheumatic disease affecting the foot and ankle (e.g., spondyloarthritis)
• Those with open wounds or infections in the area to be treated with lesions.
