Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Foot and ankle pain is an extremely common and potentially disruptive affliction that has many possible causes. This includes stress fractures, arthritis, nerve irritation, cysts, tendinitis, and, most often, plantar fasciitis.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the tissue that connects the heel to the toes becomes inflamed. This inflammation causes pain on the bottom of the heel that can continue to grow in intensity over time.

Risk factors include:

• Flat feet
• High arches
• Non­supportive shoes, especially high heels
• Obesity
•  Singular or Repetitive Sprained Ankle

Treating Plantar Fasciitis

There are many conservative treatment options for plantar fasciitis, including adjustments to the feet and ankles, stretching regimen, icing, footwear modifications, anti ­inflammatory medications and weight reduction to lessen impact on the feet.
