Suggest Treatment For Pain On The Ligaments Due To Achilles Tendinitis

Could this be plantar fasciitis? I was recently diagnosed with Achiiles tendonitis, and Posterior Tibial Tendonitis (tendonitis on the inside of my foot). Ihave pain through my achilles tendon and on the insid eof my foot due to these issues. Recently, my heel and plantar fascia ligament has been hurting. I have pain first thing in the morning, and if I stand on it for too long, sit for too long, or walk for too long. Could this be plantar fasciitis? I go to physical therapy, and the physical therapy student said that my plantar fascia ligament is tight. When I go into physical therapy on Monday, should I ask them about it and have them diagnose me? The brace I have for my foot doesn t really have any cushioning for my plantar fascia ligament, would I need something different if I have plantar fasciitis?

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hi,

when you visit the physical therapist next time try something called as a faradic stimulation under water. I have tried this on many patients with same issues and all have responded well.

later focus on doing some regular strengthening exercises and you will be back onto your feet without pain and aches. kindly avoid use of orthotics for longer duration as it might even act as weakening the muscles.

wish you a speedy recovery.
