PLANTAR FASCIITIS: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS
Plantar fasciitis causes pain in the bottom of the heel. The plantar fascia is a thick ligament that connects the heel to the front of the foot. It acts as a shock absorber and supports the arch of your foot, helping you to walk.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common orthopedic complaints. Your plantar fascial ligaments experience a lot of wear and tear in everyday life. Too much pressure on your feet can damage or tear the ligaments. The plantar fascia becomes inflamed, and the inflammation causes heel pain and stiffness.
CAUZE
Active men and women between the ages of 40 and 70 have the highest risk of developing plantar fasciitis. It is also slightly more common in women than in men. Women who are pregnant often experience plantar fasciitis, especially in late pregnancy.
If you are overweight, you have a higher risk of developing plantar fasciitis. This is due to increased pressure on the plantar fascial ligaments, especially if your weight gain has been sudden.
If you’re a long-distance runner, you may be more likely to develop plantar fasciitis problems. You are also more prone if you have a very active job that involves standing a lot, such as working in a factory or restaurant.
If you have structural foot problems, such as very high arches or very flat feet, you can develop plantar fasciitis. Very tight Achilles tendons, the tendons that attach the calf muscles to the heels, can also lead to plantar fascial pain. Wearing soft-soled shoes with poor arch support can also lead to plantar fasciitis.
SIMPTOME
The major complaint of those with plantar fasciitis is pain in the lower heel or sometimes the lower midfoot. It usually only affects one foot, but can affect both feet.
Plantar fasciitis pain develops gradually over time. The pain can be dull or sharp. Some people feel a burning or aching on the bottom of the foot that extends outward from the heel.
The pain is usually worse in the morning when you take your first steps out of bed. Climbing stairs can be very difficult because of heel stiffness.
After prolonged activity, pain may subside due to increased irritation or inflammation. People with plantar fasciitis do not usually feel pain during activity, but rather only after stopping.
TREATMENT
The treatment of plantar fasciitis depends on both the cause and the symptoms our patients experience. To arrive at an accurate diagnosis, we will review your medical history and examine your foot. During this process, we will rule out all possible causes of heel pain other than plantar fasciitis.
Examination is key to the treatment of plantar fasciitis. We must examine not only the foot, but also the knee and hip joints, muscles and ligaments. In most cases, treatment must be holistic for success. The best result I have gotten from treatment has been by combining the methods of osteopathy, manual therapy, physiotherapy, and physical therapy.
