Hello Dr Berg, I have had plantar fasciitis for about a year , I thought it was due to my long 12hr shifts, until I watched one of your videos on plantar fasciitis, I started doing intermittent fasting consistently in February and 6 weeks later just like magic the foot pain is gone, my knees feel great and overall I feel amazing , I also lift weight twice a week and eat healthier , I’m 35 but I feel like I’m 25 again😂, thank you , thank you so much for your wealth of information on intermittent fasting , plantar fasciitis and every thing you give information about, cheers!!!!!!

I have Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Spurs… I’ve been to treatment but the pain come back and i mention my condition to a work mate and she happens to watch Dr. Eric Berg’s vlog about my condition and i thank her for finding you. Just 2 days of doing the exercise and it works from 10 to 1 pain and i keep doing it. Thank you so much Dr. Berg you are the best. I am now a subscriber.

Is no words to thank you, It's the second problem I solved through you, the top doctors in my city couldn't solve it. You’re helping and teaching a lot of people THANK YOU

It’s so fascinating that you make videos that relate to ailments that I’m having. It’s like you’re psychic. 🤯

I suffered from plantar fasciitis for two years. Saw specialists, tried special footwear. Nothing helped. Went on Keto, and it disappeared within three weeks. That was two years ago and it has never come back. I think it was a combination of the weight loss and the inflammation calming down on keto that did it.

@Dr. Berg Your video verified my concerns that my doctor could not do well. He was talking about cutting something if it didn't heal. He did not make sense, and he gave me a painful boot, so I gave up, scared, confused, in pain, feeling ripped off, not trusting, and not healing. Now YOUR video plus the comments made me understand this problem and the healing process. I thought the night boot was preventing the healing, but now I understand, and now I'm going to see how long this takes to heal.

I had been bothered for years with plantar fasciitis. My doctor tried so many things over the years. Sometimes I would think it was gone and then in a few weeks or months it came back. I was always limping to the point that my shoes wore down unevenly.One day I saw a hard rubber ball with firm nodules in the sport shop. It was about twice as big as a golf ball. I would put the ball on the floor and while standing or sitting I pressed and rolled my heel and foot on it. It was very tender and I could only do it for a minute or so. I did it every day and soon was doing it with much more pressure and for up to 10 minutes. I gradually became aware that my pain was gone. It went away so slowly that when I realised it, I was surprised to find myself pain free. That was 3 years ago. I do the treatment every month or so. I have told people who have this inflammation and in all cases except one it has given the same results.

You're videos always recommend to do the opposite of what my doctors advise. And you are always right. It's unbelievable how much they just keep prescribing things without appreciation for these therapies not working. They usually just assign the failure to the patient - the patient must not be complying. It seems the medical provider community is light years away.

I had this issue for 7 years now. I have been wearing custom made orthotics for this whole time. And doing the wrong exercise...... However I noticed by loosing some weight the situation with my foot got better. I used to wear runners in the house with orthotics inside, otherwise I can't walk. But now I can walk around indoor with soft bottom slippers. I will start doing the right exercise now. Thanks Dr. Berg.

Yes, Dr Berg was right. At first I watched other videos, followed their advice, and the result was awful. My pain level was 10. I couldn't step on my foot. After this video, in few hours my pain level went down to 5, and today, three days after, it is zero! Thank you for the video!

I had plantar fasciitis, bone spurs and torn tendons in the bottom of my feet. It was exacerbated by a job where I worked in extremely high temperatures for 3 weeks. I was unable to recover my fluids and electrolytes because I was working and sweating 12-14 hours a day. Chronic dehydration makes tendons brittle. They tear easily. I was unable to walk properly for months and lost my job. The podiatrist was expensive and painful (cortisone shots) but didn’t improve anything. After doing my own research, I recovered by using night boots, vitamin d, vitamin k, potassium and magnesium supplements. I also did heavy weights to increase my growth hormone. My advice for anyone with plantar fasciitis is to immediately buy night boots, vitamin D & K, electrolytes and keep hydrated.

Aren't night boots stretching your calf? The exact opposite that Dr Berg is suggesting. I'm quite confused now...

@blisterbill8477

4 жыл бұрын

Dénes Zoltán No. The night boots keep your foot and calf at a 90 degree angle. Just as when you stand. The purpose of the boots is to prevent the Achilles heel/plantar fascia from healing in a shortened position. Stretching isn’t the point of the night boots. It’s just to maintain the same position of the foot as when you stand. When you sleep, your foot tends to point down and the tendon/fascia heals in a shortened position. When you stand in the morning, it pulls the tendon/fascia tight and tears it. This causes new damage every morning. The night boots simply prevent the repetitive morning damage and allow the healing to occur naturally. The heel spurs that occur in the bottom front of the heel are actually calcification at the connection point of the fascia to the bone. It occurs over time when the fascia is repetitively damaged and healed short at that connection point. My plantar fasciitis was only a part of my issues. It took several months for me to get well. Afterward, when my plantar fasciitis would reoccur, I would IMMEDIATELY wear night boots for two or three nights. I also made sure I had not gotten low on electrolytes and was taking vitaminD,K. It would take care of the issue in a few days. I haven’t had any problems in about 4 years now. Some people do use night boots to overstretch the foot. That’s not helpful in my experience. Just use them to keep the foot at the same angle as when you stand. My boots are rigid and do not have elastic positioning so they don’t stretch the calf. They are similar to a splint or cast. Not very comfortable but the relief is worth it.

I had plantar feciitus under both my feet could hardly walk. I went to a specialist doctor and he said there is no cure. The only solution was to cut both the nerves under my feet. That was the stupidest thing I ever heard. I asked him if I had a headache would he cut my head off??? So I went and researched myself. Changed my diet and bought those dryer balls with spikes on them. I kept rolling the bottom of my feet on those and with time all my pain is gone. I can run at the gym and no pain.

These stretches didn't work for me at all. Did them for months. Good for a stretch tho. Prolonged calf stretches did. Within a month I was pretty much recovered but have kept doing them twice a day since. Its relieved the pain and issues like nothing else. Maybe not for everyone and their individual physiology but definitely worked for me. I'm now hiking and even running again after 5 years!

Thank u.

Thanks Dr Berg Sharing your knowledge always works.❤

Dr berg, dude, you have been feeling me! I've been going through plantar fasciitis for the past few months due to steel toe work BOOTS. I only feel pain after standing for long periods. I will try this

Just discovered this channel. GREAT stuff!! I travel the world and all the great food I discovered on my travels kind of made me somewhat overweight! Now I eat less, like 1 meal a day and I find your videos to inspire me bro.

Thanks Dr. I dropped out almond, spinach. parsely and Kakao from my dite and did the massage you recomended some 4 weeks back. lt is working for I have less pain and the spurs have started to diminish. Simplly said it is is hard to believe to experience this after 15 years of suffering. Thanks again.

If you want to lose weight don't diet, eat healthy food whenever your hungry but only eat enough to satisfy the hunger. You'll drop the weight slowly but it will change your eating habits and will control it forever. I lost 60lbs in 4 months and have been the same weight now for yrs.

Holy cow I woke up overnight and my feet were killing me. I will look into this!

Hi dr. berg! I love your videos. I've been following for I think, a year now. I love how freely you share real knowledge for real health! I just would like to share my experience with plantar facitis. Thank God I don't usually have to stand planting on my feet 8 hours/day. I did do it for about 10 days, @ my age it resulted in plantar fascitis, which is extremely painful, n really makes walking difficult. I fell twice while I had it. I 📞 my hijamist an asked her if she could help me. Thank God, she was able to. She did wet cupping on either side of both knees, n within an hour I felt relief. Thank God! The next day absolutely no pain, nothing. The cupping took less than 20 minutes. I've been having wet n dry cupping done for several health issues over the past 10 years, always leaving with relief of pain. So many Olympians now use wet n dry cupping;its extremely healthy n waaay cheaper than meds n all their horrible side effects, surgeries that often need to be redone. We are so blessed to have it as a safe treatment.

Thank you so much Doctor for this useful information. 🙏🏻

This exercise really works ...thank you so much

Temporary relief. You better rest your feet and buy better shoes.

He's right, I can vouch, I quit that stretching for my calves, and the pain has subsided.

Fantastic. Well done. Thnk u

I have developed heel spurs. In researching pain remedies, I have seen so many videos that suggest doing the opposite of your advice... i.e. stretching the calf (toes upwards) and to massage the bottom of the foot... Your direction makes more sense!

Thankyou so much. I've been dealing with this problem for months and doing the wrong stretches until I watched the Lebanese version of The Doctors a few days ago which they were talking about PF amd they advise that to also avoid the stretches you talked about and to stretch the foot the same way you said we should stretch. Again thankyou. Your a great doctor to have in our lives.

I have the same problem especially when i wear flat shoes may be its due also yo what you just said ...thanks

You are the only person that says don't do the popular stretch. I do agree with you. When ever I did that it got worse..

Thank you so much very useful

Oh my! I had Platar Fasciiitis so severe I got to the point I could not walk. Both feet. I went through shots in the Feet to therapy. Rolling my foot over a frozen bottle of water. I was made to stretch the foot with a band. I had surgery on the right foot and the left got better. It really can be debilitating. What a relief!
