Grease pad inflammation - Diagnosis, treatment and measures.

The fat pad in the heel can be found in the innermost layer of the heel, and in this area you can actually get inflammation, especially in connection with overload or traumatic failure. The pain can be present both day and night and be of a pulsating, deep character.

Treatment and measures

Relief, adequate rest, heel pad, sole fitting, well cushioned footwear (such as good running shoes like ASICS Kayano or similar), NSAIDS, dimming and treating nearby muscles are all things that can help with such a nuisance. Freezing down is especially important in the acute phase of the problem along with the RICE protocol.

What can I do even for foot pain?

1. General movement and activity is recommended, but stay within the pain limit. Two walks a day of 20-40 minutes make good for the body and aching muscles.

2. Trigger point / massage balls we strongly recommend - they come in different sizes so you can hit well even on all parts of the body. There is no better self help than this! We recommend the following (click the image below) - which is a complete set of 5 trigger point / massage balls in different sizes:

Affected by the troublesome foot disorder plantar fasciitis and heel spur? The balls are also particularly suitable for the treatment of these conditions!

3. Training: Specific training with training tricks of various opponents (such as this complete set of 6 knits of different resistance) can help you train strength and function. Knit training often involves more specific training, which in turn can lead to more effective injury prevention and pain reduction.

4. Pain Relief - Cooling: Biofreeze is a natural product that can relieve pain by cooling the area gently. Cooling is especially recommended when the pain is very severe. When they have calmed down then heat treatment is recommended - it is therefore advisable to have both cooling and heating available.

5. Pain Relief - Heating: Warming up tight muscles can increase blood circulation and reduce pain. We recommend the following reusable hot / cold gasket (click here to read more about it) - which can be used both for cooling (can be frozen) and for heating (can be heated in the microwave).
