Plantar Fasciitis – Dos and Donts to recover the heel pain


Plantar Fasciitis – Dos and Donts to recover the heel pain

Heel discomfort is majorly caused by the condition called plantar fasciitis.

The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue spanning the bottom of your foot and attaching your heel bone to the bones of your toes. And when the band gets inflamed then the condition Plantar Fasciitis takes place.

When you first get out of bed after having plantar fasciitis, you frequently experience sharp pain. The discomfort typically subsides when you walk around. But it can come back if you stand up after being seated for a while or after standing for a long time.

In this blog, we will be subtly discussing the disorder and some common do’s and don’ts you must know before visiting a Chronic Pain Specialist.

Some common causes of plantar fasciitis

Plantar fascia resembles a bowstring. It supports the arch of your foot and absorbs impact when you walk. Small fascia tears happen when the bowstring is under excessive tension or stress. Chronic inflammation can happen from repeated tearing and stretching. However, some outbreaks of plantar fasciitis seem to have no obvious reason.

Your chance of having plantar fasciitis is influenced by several things, such as:

  • Age: 40 to 60 is the most typical range.
  • Several forms of exercise: ballet, long-distance running, and aerobics put the heel under strain.
  • Footwear technique: hyper pronation, flat feet, and a high arch (uneven distribution of weight) add tension.
  • Obesity: A lot of weight putting on the heels each time you take a step.
