Plantar Fascitis Explained

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, involving inflammation of the plantar fascia, the fibrous tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. This condition primarily affects people who are on their feet a lot.

Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

Common symptoms include:

  • Sharp, stabbing pain in the bottom of the foot near the heel
  • Pain that is usually worse upon arising
  • Pain that increases over a period of months
  • Swelling on the bottom of the heel

Causes and Risk Factors

Plantar fasciitis is primarily caused by repetitive stretching and tearing of the plantar fascia. Risk factors include:

  • Age (most common between 40-60)
  • Certain types of exercise (long-distance running, ballet dancing, aerobic dance)
  • Foot mechanics (flat feet, high arches, or abnormal walking patterns)
  • Obesity
  • Occupations that require a lot of walking or standing on hard surfaces

Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosis is primarily based on medical history and physical examination. Treatment may include:

  • Physical Therapy: Stretching and strengthening exercises to enhance the flexibility of the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia.
  • Sports Massage: Focused on the lower leg and foot to relieve tension in the plantar fascia.
  • Orthotics: Custom-fitted arch supports designed to distribute pressure more evenly across your feet.
  • Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Surgical Options: Considered only for severe cases that do not respond to other treatments.

Prevention

Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy weight, choosing supportive footwear, and avoiding excessive stress on your feet through extreme or prolonged activities.
