Acute to Chronic Plantar Fasciitis?

A Self-Managed Treatment Plan for a Permanent Cure

Pain longer than 3 months? Then it is acute.‍ ‍Our treatment plan is a clinically proven answer to long-term plantar fasciitis. Over 15 years and 10,000+ patients, we collated the largest database of case studies in Australia. Using the finest video equipment available, our biomechanists studied gait and lifestyles of hundreds of cases. Over several months, a previously unknown biomechanical abnormality in heel function was identified in over 90% of patients. This was a clue to the root cause of plantar fasciitis. Fully explained below:

Whether we walk, stand or run, the Calcaneus (heel bone) strikes the ground first, taking approximately 60% of bodyweight. As we propel forward, the foot arch takes the remaining load. When a Calcaneus deviates inwards at ground contact, the foot arch bones unlock. This causes excessive strain on the strong fascia underneath. This inelastic fascia is not ligament, tendon or muscle and cannot stretch. This results in inflammation, micro-fibre tears and severe pain with each step. The Heel strike angle is the clinically proven source of plantar fascia tears and the basis of our successful home treatment plan.

This is Only Treating Symptoms

Research spanning 15 years showed that more than 80% of patients had already tried multiple treatments. Costing $ 100s. Treating Plantar fasciitis symptoms has become an industry worldwide for health practitioners. There is no proven medical evidence of any long-term benefits applying the treatments below. Bending, stretching, rolling, lifting and massaging torn and inflamed inelastic tissue have been shown to aggravate and prolong healing.

  • Rolling feet over ice bottles or cans

  • Calf muscle step stretches

  • Massaging the arch

  • Arch support orthotics

  • Pulling toes back

  • Soft flexible shoes

  • Shockwave therapy

  • Cortisone injections

What is the Kraedl Plan?

Understanding the deviated heel means getting out of bed each morning will undo any healing process that occurred overnight. The rest of the day (time on feet) adds to fascia inflammation. This is why plantar fascia tears cannot repair themselves. We resolved that early morning issue some time ago. Once pain-free in the morning, sufferers are well on their way to tissue repair and curing this severe, frustrating ailment.

We have conclusively proved the only way to cure acute plantar fascia stress permanently is to return the foot arch to a weight-supporting structure. Unfortunately, standard orthotics are now counterproductive. Arch-based devices force pressure upwards, increasing stress into the inflamed and torn tissue.

From overseas techniques and our own laboratory technicians, we designed a totally new and unique form of Insole (Kraedl ICD). A scientifically angulated parabolic curve was designed inside the heel cup. This cupping effect prevents the Calcaneus from excessive rolling inwards. Hence, permitting the foot arch joints to function as self-supporting structures again. In addition, a deep channel running heel to toe is incorporated, taking further tension off the fascia. The foot structure now supports naturally individual body weight. Kraedl Insoles are not arch supports ‍ ‍

Once we introduced ICD Insoles to acute and chronic sufferers, a follow-up program was introduced. The responses were remarkable. Total pain-free times fluctuated with lifestyles, but the surprise was the nearly instant relief of morning pain. Up to COVID, we successfully treated thousands of patients clinically, using ICD Insoles supported by a strict Daily Routine Program. But it was clear the only people treatable had to travel to clinics, incurring considerable time and costs.

A decision was made to close Clinics in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. This allows us to now provide the Inverted Kraedl Insoles and Daily Routine program for sufferers regardless of geographic location.

Kraedls are comfortable, light, semi-flexible, self-moulding foam. A unique feature is that the longer you wear them, the more support they provide. Kraedls are designed to fit all daily footwear styles for men and women. Each pair of Kraedls is modified individually from the information provided at the time of Order.

We provide 3 Treatment Programs:

  1. Early Onset 1-3 weeks

  2. Continuous Pain 1 to 6 months

  3. Acute/Chronic pain 6 to 12 months +

    Our Helpline will provide immediate advice.

  • "I was very impressed with the service Bill provided and explanation he gave. It gave me a much better understanding of the cause of my foot pain and therefore how to help it heal and avoid future episodes. His heel insert worked very well. I was able to walk again without pain within a matter of days whereas my previous episode two years ago lasted months, despite my adherence to the recommended regime of exercises & treatments. Bill's advice has now made me more conscious of heel placement when walking to help correct my heel roll. That alone is a valuable insight. Thank you Bill, cheers Anne"

  • "So happy with treatment the pain is starting to ease and no where as bad as it was . Hoping at this rate to be pain free in a few weeks."

    K Bulmer

  • "I had extremely painful plantar fasciitis for about 6 weeks and wore the Kraedl insoles for about 10 days and hey presto, it's mostly all better ! If it starts to flare up again I wear the insoles for a few hours a day for a couple of days."

    H Memery

  • "Following the advice from the wonderful consultant - I don't have much pain. I am so pleased that I am able to manage the condition"

    N Sultana

  • "The supports definitely realign your posture which decreases pressure on the feet. This lowers and assists in managing pain levels"

    K Harris

  • "I injured my foot in late Feb, been in pain ever since. I contacted PF online and Bill phoned me the next day, he told me things about my foot that l didn’t know even about severs that I had as a kid. I ordered the kraedle and followed the plan. I used it for 12 days straight in my my work boots, took a break for a few days and used it again for another five days. I am now pain free and walking normally. BUT! You have to be diligent and tolerant as it is not the most comfortable insert to wear but it works well. Bill you are a legend thanks for you support."

    V Riordon

  • "The pain has decreased particularly when I go to bed at night. Before wearing the insoles and the program I would have pain in bed at night I don’t have this now but I still have some pain during the day when I walk I will persevere with the program."

    N Stanley

  • "I think I am on the right track. The Kraedls have definitely made a difference. They still hurt my heels a bit during the day, but it is way better than the PF pain. Each day seems to be improving. I still walk and stand a lot so cannot expect an instant miracle."

    V Sharpe

  • "So far been great have done a couple of 2k works and been great"
