Immediate Effect of Ionotohoresis with Short Foot Exercises on Pain and Rom in Plantar Fasciitis
Anish Mandrekar, Dr Anil Muragod
Abstract: Plantar fasciitis, a prevalent cause of heel pain, involves inflammation and structural breakdown of the plantar fascia, often due to overuse, increased exercise, weight gain, or aging. This study investigates the immediate effects of iontophoresis with diclofenac sodium combined with short foot exercises on pain and range of motion ROM in individuals aged 18 - 30 years with plantar fasciitis. Using the Visual Analog Scale VAS and goniometry, 28 participants were assessed pre - and post - treatment. Results showed a significant reduction in pain mean difference 2.30, p<0.000 and an increase in ankle plantar flexion and dorsiflexion ROM p<0.000. The study concludes that iontophoresis with diclofenac sodium, alongside short foot exercises, is effective in alleviating pain and improving ROM in plantar fasciitis patients.
