FOOT PAIN: PLANTAR FASCIITIS

Posted by Sarah W. on May 07, 2019

Oh, I get those too! We don't stay young all the time - time will come that our body will slowly develop degenerative diseases. One of the many degenerative diseases is plantar Fasciitis. 


"Plantar fasciitis is a progressive degenerative condition affecting the thick band of tissue that covers the bones on the bottom of the foot (plantar fascia), and has been associated with heel pain, falls, poor quality of life, and disability. The data for this analysis come from the 2013 National Health and Wellness Survey, a self-administered, Internet-based questionnaire completed by 75,000 participants identified through a Web-based consumer panel. Participants were asked if they experienced any pain within the last year and the last month and were asked to select specific types of diagnoses for their pain from a list that included plantar fasciitis". - National Center for Complemetary and Integrated Health

Overview

 

Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your first steps in the morning. As you get up and move more, the pain normally decreases, but it might return after long periods of standing or after rising from sitting. Plantar Fasciitis is more common in runners. In addition, people who are overweight and those who wear shoes with inadequate support have an increased risk of plantar fasciitis.


People with plantar fasciitis should avoid sudden transitions from one foot wear to another. Wearing high heels regularly helps you form a high arch leaving you an arch that can't effectively absorb impact or support your weight. Sudden transition from high heeled shoes to flats may require a shoe insert that is supporting the arch to avoid heel spurs or bone spurs. Walking barefoot without sufficient arch support can tear or inflame the plantar fascia.
