What is Plantar Fasciitis?

This common foot issue happens when the plantar fascia - a fan-shaped tissue near your heel - gets inflamed. The plantar fascia is a thick strip of connective tissue that links your toes to your heel bone, helping to preserve the arch of your foot. When this band is strained, it causes intensely sharp pain, usually in the morning when you wake up and plant your feet on the floor.

Most folks ignore plantar fasciitis because the pain eventually goes away throughout the day. However, if left untreated, plantar fasciitis can lead to weakness and chronic pain, which may affect daily walking.

Some causes of plantar fasciitis include:

  • Playing Sports
  • Standing or Working on Feet for Long Periods of Time
  • Working or Exercising on Hard Floor Surfaces
  • Exercising Without Stretching
  • Wearing Shoes with Minimal Foot Support
  • Long Periods of Standing or Walking Barefoot

Do Traditional Treatment Options Work?

The short answer to this question is not really. Patients with plantar fasciitis will ice the affected area with little-to-no relief since they spend so much time on their feet. It's hard to rest an achy heel if you've got a job that requires you to be on your feet. Anti-inflammatory meds like Advil don't work all that well, either. They may provide temporary pain relief, but in terms of a long-term solution, taking these drugs will cause major side effects.

Causes Knee Pain

What Causes Knee Pain?

If you're an active person or somebody who plays sports often, you're probably all too familiar with knee pain - especially common conditions like patellar tendinopathy. Also called "jumpers knee," this issue happens at the patellar tendon, which is found on the front of the knee just under the knee cap. When living with this condition, most patients experience pain around the kneecap or lower down on the leg around the tibia.

In addition to injuries and issues like jumper's knee, everyday wear and tear will cause knee pain over time. With time, this knee pain can develop into arthritis. If your knees are swollen, painful, or stiff, you may have arthritis in your knees. Regardless of the kind of knee pain you're experiencing, treatment options have been limited to agonizing surgeries and addicting pain medications. But that all changes with shockwave therapy for knee pain in McClellanville, SC.

Does Shockwave Therapy for Knee Pain Really Work?

Several studies and reviews prove that Softwave therapy can be very beneficial for people suffering from knee pain problems like jumper's knee. A study involving 66 patients with knee pain found that they enjoyed a significant improvement in their reported pain levels with Softwave therapy. In fact, knee pain was reduced by nearly 50% after a single month. When combined with other regenerative and physical therapy treatments at Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine, your days of living with knee pain are numbered.

Causes Shoulder Pain

What Causes Shoulder Pain?

There are many causes of shoulder pain, like deterioration, inflammation, and trauma. Of the many painful shoulder conditions affecting Americans yearly, rotator cuff tendonitis and arthritis are very common. Also called calcific tendinitis, rotator cuff pain is caused by built-up calcium deposits on the shoulder's tendons, which connect your rotator cuff to nearby muscles and bones. This painful condition is usually linked to sports, like basketball and volleyball, or in professions requiring repetitive movements, like in the plumbing industry.

Some common symptoms of shoulder pain and rotator cuff tendinitis include:

  • Swelling
  • Weakness of the Arm
  • Limited Range of Motion
  • Shoulder Stiffness or Tenderness
  • Disturbed Sleep
  • Dull, Achy Pain

Though strengthening exercises and some medications provide temporary relief for shoulder pain, they're not meant as long-term solutions. Luckily, Softwave therapy for rotator cuff pain in McClellanville, SC, can help.

How Does Shockwave Therapy Heal Shoulder Pain?

Shockwave therapy has been shown to work wonders for shoulder pain. Low-intensity shockwaves break up calcium deposits and jumpstart your body's healing processes, stimulating blood flow and healthy cell growth. Shockwave treatment is especially effective for long-term shoulder pain since it releases stem cells, sends growth factors to the affected area, and boosts capillary production. Shockwave therapy has also been shown to break down scar tissue and eliminate trigger points, all of which decrease shoulder pain. This relief is most often long-lasting, unlike other treatments like medications and injections.

McCLELLANVILLE, S.C. (WCSC) - Charleston County and the Lowcountry Land Trust plan to purchase land that marks what some consider the entrance to the town of McClellanville.

They are leveraging the Greenbelt Program to buy nearly 15 acres of land off of Highway 17.

“McClellanville, as everybody knows who’s been up there, is just a totally unique, beautiful fishing village, great place to visit,” Lowcountry Land Trust Conservation Director David Ray says. “The waterfront, working waterfront restaurants, scenic town, and what the Carolina Seafood project is going to do will be to preserve much of the scenic gateway into the town as you come off of Highway 17.”

The tract, previously owned by Carolina Seafood, features multiple grand oaks and three freshwater ponds. Ray says the protection of this property will preserve the property’s current use as a passive greenspace while also creating public access.

Mayor Rutledge B. Leland is the owner of Carolina Seafood, which is selling the property, and says there was overwhelming support from townspeople about preserving the land.

“This is the entrance to our town, traditionally. And I know that there are a lot of people that come in the other way, but this is the one that people really think of, as what McClellanville should look like when you come in and we, we’ve got the oak trees, and it’s just, it’s the way we like to look,” Leland says.

The county has approved $720,000 in Greenbelt funds for the Carolina Seafood property, and a nearby farm property to be designated as conservation. Carolina Seafood received $150,000 from SC Conservation Bank earlier this year to purchase the property.

“So it’s property that will be owned and managed in the future by the town of McClellanville. And I think it’s property that, if anybody has ever driven Highway 17 towards the Santee river, you look off to the side as you’re as you’re going by McClellanville, and you think, Wow, that’s a beautiful woodland property,” Ray says.

“We’re a Tree City, USA, and we certainly got some pretty attractive trees right here,” Leland says. “And as you come in, both sides of the road will have trees, and this will be an entrance, which will coordinate with the rest of the town.”

Greenbelt application documents state the park will be adjacent to future Carolina Seafoods facilities located along Highway 17, promoting and fostering the community’s cultural and economic connection to the local seafood industry. It is also near another greenbelt project, that will designate five private acres as conservation property. The Farm at McClellanville property will be donated once the owner passes.

“The other project that we’re doing, the farm at McClellanville, is a small but strategic project which will keep a small farm an open space, and it will remain private property for the foreseeable future,” Ray says. “But it preserves an opportunity as well to connect that Greenway near the school, should we ever get the opportunity to connect that directly through that property to the Carolina seafood property.”

Overall, Ray and Leland say the people of McClellanville they have talked to are happy about the purchase, and knowing the land won’t be changing drastically from the welcoming property the know.

“You know, 25 years from now, it should look pretty much the same. And that’s good thing,” Leland says.
