If you have heel pain, you know that it can halt any exercise program and make it painful to work, run and even stand. Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain.<\/p>\n
The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that attaches to the heel bone and runs along the bottom of your foot. When this tissue becomes inflamed because of repeated stretching and tearing, it can be painful to walk, especially when first arising in the morning and when getting up after sitting for a period of time. Plantar fasciitis is common in runners or those who play sports with a lot of jumping. You may also be at risk of this painful condition if you have a high arch, wear poorly-fitting or worn out footwear, are overweight or if you stand on hard surfaces for long periods. Note that 50% of patients with plantar fasciitis also have a heel spur, a bony growth on the heel bone. Heel spurs may not cause any pain and usually don’t require separate treatment.<\/p>\n
Ignoring plantar fasciitis isn’t a good idea as it may result in chronic heel pain that keeps you from enjoying your favorite activities. Also, if you unconsciously change the way you
\nwalk to accommodate the pain, you may develop foot, back, knee or hip problems.<\/p>\n
We can help! Our approach to treating your plantar fasciitis will be:<\/p>\n
If non-invasive treatments don’t help, we can give you a steroid injection at the sensitive area. Shock wave therapy using sound waves to give a deep tissue massage can also
\nstimulate healing. Surgery may be recommended only in rare cases that don’t respond to other therapy.<\/p>\n
