PLANTAR FASCIITIS
CLINIK SPINE RESTORING NORMAL MOBILITY USING MANUAL THERAPY HELPS TO PROVIDE SYMPTOM RELIEF IN ACUTE, SUB-ACUTE, AND CHRONIC PAIN CONDITIONS.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes (plantar fascia).
Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your first steps in the morning. As you get up and move, the pain normally decreases, but it might return after long periods of standing or when you stand up after sitting.
SYMPTOMS:
- Pain on the bottom of the foot near the heel
- Pain with the first few steps after getting out of bed in the morning, or after a long period of rest, such as after a long car ride.
- The pain subsides after a few minutes of walking
- Greater pain after (not during) exercise or activity
Plantar fasciitis typically starts gradually with mild pain at the heel bone often referred to as a stone bruise. You’re more likely to feel it after (not during) exercise. The pain classically occurs right after getting up in the morning and after a period of sitting. If you don’t treat plantar fasciitis, it may become a chronic condition. You may not be able to keep up your level of activity, and you may develop symptoms of foot, knee, hip, and back problems because plantar fasciitis can change the way you walk.
