Plantar Fasciitis
If you are an avid runner or walker or have a job that requires a lot of walking or standing on hard surfaces, you may be at risk for plantar fasciitis(pronounced fashee-EYE-tiss). This condition gradually starts with mild pain at the heel bone and is most noticeable when taking your first few steps out of the bed in the morning, getting up from a chair after a long period of sitting and after exercising.

Plantar Fasciitis
If you are an avid runner or walker or have a job that requires a lot of walking or standing on hard surfaces, you may be at risk for plantar fasciitis(pronounced fashee-EYE-tiss). This condition gradually starts with mild pain at the heel bone and is most noticeable when taking your first few steps out of the bed in the morning, getting up from a chair after a long period of sitting and after exercising.
Pediatric Care
Data from over 500 children Mike has treated shows that if a child or pediatric patient has foot, knee or lower leg pain related to weight-bearing while playing, exercising or normal walking and standing then a faulty mechanical foot, knee or hip position may be part of the problem. We have developed evaluation and treatment plans for children with foot, ankle, shin, and knee pain related to running and playing that is often thought to be "growing pains" but remains prolonged and chronic. Mike also has developed special treatment programs for toe-in walkers who struggle with clumsiness, frequent tripping, falling and a lack of coordination and agility that improves these problems. After years of refining these programs, most kids can be treated with only 2-3 visits.

Iontophoresis
Due to the descending vertical fibers of the ITB and the fact that the ITB crosses the knee joint, some people get a fierce lateral knee pain that is caused by the ITB as it frictions back and forth with every step of running and walking. Some people have a lot of ITB tightness combined with a prominent lateral surface of the lateral femoral condyle, which causes what is known as distal IT Band Friction Syndrome (ITBFS). People with genu valgus, also known as being knock-kneed, and varus or being bowed-legged are also susceptible to ITBFS. ITBFS requires the affected person to stop running for a short while and to lower the inflammation in the painful area. Strategies may include: ice, anti-inflammatory medication, modalities such as iontophoresis, phonophoresis, are effective. Typically a cortisone injection into the area will be a very rapid source of relief and should be a first line consideration for the ardent and addicted runner. Stretching and manual soft tissue mobilization should be a consideration but the professional treating you needs to understand well which stage of inflammation and recovery you are in so as not to promote worsening inflammation with manual soft tissue massage or mobilization techniques or with stretching.

Orthopedics
Michael J. Kelo, PT, MPH, OCS - Mike is a graduate of MCV-VCU School of Physical Therapy and served as a faculty member - teaching orthopedics at MCV for 13 years. He has lectured nationally and locally and published several journal and textbook articles on orthopedic topics regarding shoulder, spine, knee, foot and ankle dysfunctions. He has conducted several research studies with colleagues in the US and Canada that produced research proven methods to help measure therapy outcomes for patients with spine and leg problems.

Achilles Tendonitis
I want to thank you and your staff for the care you provided that helped me recover from Achilles tendonitis last spring.
Heel Pain
Plantar Fasciitis
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons describes plantar fasciitis as an overuse injury which affects the sole or flexor surface (plantor) of the foot, which causes the inflammation of the tough fibrous band of tissue(fascia) connecting your heel bone to the base of your toes.
