Plantar Fasciitis

an over stretch plantar fascia, is the cause of most foot pain.
An over stretched plantar fascia

Plantar Fascitis and heel spurs (also known as Calcaneal Exostosis) are often diagnosed together but the ailments are really two different things. As a result of plantar fascitis about 70% of sufferers also develop heel spurs. However, a person with a heel spur does not necessarily suffer the debilitating pain caused by plantar fascitis.

Strain and inflammation of the plantar ligament may result from running, high impact aerobics and sports like basketball, especially when inappropriate footwear such as worn-out shoes are worn. Plantar fasciitis causes pain on the plantar surface of the heel and the the inner side of the bottom of the foot.

Plantar fascitis is a very painful condition. Suffering tends to be greater when standing at the beginning of the day since sleeping allows the plantar facia (ligament connecting calcaneus or heel bone to the ball of the foot) to tighten. Over the course of the day symptoms may alleviate as the plantar facia is used and loosens. Prolonged use of the plantar facia ligament (i.e. standing for long periods) may cause the pain to return.

In addition to regular stretching, resting, drug therapies and the application of cold packs effective pain management may also be experienced with regular MendMeShop Ultrasound treatments.
