Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis can cause a variety of different pain levels and depending on your own personal pain threshold, might become unbearable at times. One of the main symptoms is extreme pain that seems to be localized to your heel. Plantar fasciitis is caused by a fairly common condition that involves the plantar fascia ligament. When this ligament is injured or it gets stretched too far, it can cause inflammation. If you are trying to locate the plantar fascia, it is the ligament that connects to the ball of the foot.

 

As stated earlier, the pain from Plantar Fasciitis can vary widely. The pain can be most noticeable when you put pressure on the foot. People who have flat feet also have a greater risk of developing Plantar Fasciitis. If you do have flat feet then be sure that you wear good shoes. This would include footwear that features extensive support and good arch supports.

 

Taking the pressure off your feet can go a long way in relieving the symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis. The most important thing to do, if you suspect that you have Plantar Fasciitis, is to see a podiatrist. The next most important thing to do is make sure that you are wearing the proper footwear. You might need a good pair of arch supports, insoles and night splints. You can see our foot care products section for more information.
