Do you ever find patients with long standing (12 months plus) plantar calcanel heel pain get complete relief with just a 2-3 day application of a low-dye strapping? Had a lady in today for a review who has had no pain after suffering for a long time. My first thought was let's pursue orthoses but then I hesitated because she no longer had any pain (nor with palpation). I did say if it recurrs (& most likely it would) THEN orthoses would be the best option. Have I failed her in my treatment/thought processes?
