Plantar fasciitis
Image via Wikipedia

The term is derived from plantar fasciitis plantar words referring to the bottom of the foot and fascia, a fibrous tissue that attaches to the bottom of heel bone and extends forward to the toes. Plantar fasciitis is a simple reference to inflammation of the fascia. This is a very common condition that affects about 1 in every 8 people in your life. Typical symptoms include a burning pain and irritation in front of the calcaneus (heel bone) and sometimes leading the arches of the feet. The pain usually intensifies after a period of rest and sleep or long periods of sitting (driving home work after sitting for lunch or dinner).

How I got plantar fasciitis?

When you walk or run, their actions longbow as a spring rise and fall with each step. What is actually happening is that after the weight bearing foot elongate or stretch, stretch the fascia. When This “spring” action occurs, the fascia can be stretched to the point of irritation or tearing of the fascia occur. This condition is often referred to plantar fasciitis as too many people wrongly use the term “heel spur” or “blow of stone.”

Why Why me?

In the past 20 years I have been making braces and custom orthotics for almost every type of foot, ankle and knee, about 70% of custom orthotics are designed for plantar fasciitis. I’ve heard many crazy theories on how people have acquired this condition. The fact is that anyone can develop this condition. If you are overweight, underweight, a tri-athlete or a couch potato. Plantar fasciitis does not discriminate. If you need to know the most common causes, then reading, I hope that will help you identify what you are doing right and wrong.

The # 1 cause of heel pain!

The cause Plantar fasciitis most common is abnormal foot motion called pronation. Normally, while walking or running, your foot hits the ground at the outer edge of the heel, and then start to roll in and closer to his toes of his arch should flatten slightly during this motion. If it flattens too much, you have what is commonly known as pronation.

Other contributing factors for heel pain and plantar fasciitis

Sudden Gain 1) in weight.

Sometimes fast, being overweight does not allow the body to adjust to the extra load weight being given. The connective tissue (tendons, ligaments and fascia) are not sufficient strength and flexibility to withstand the extra load and connective tissues are stretched now over and begin to fail.

2) The trauma and pain in the heel.

It is a very common problem that someone from the land improperly while jumping, running, climbing stairs or stepping off the pavement. When the feet hit the ground no more they may expand their mechanical limitations and harms of the plantar fascia.

Flexible shoes 3) and heel pain.

A large majority of people think that if you are having problems with their feet then you should wear soft shoes. Nothing could be further from the truth and I explain why. If you have a problem with your heels, ankles or knees, it’s safe to say that you are having a “bio-mechanical problem. What this means is that the mechanical the body are not working properly and the feet are not properly aligned. For example, some people reason that if you use soft, flexible walking shoes, then it absorbs shock and reducing the impact forces on the feet. To some extent this is true, but I do not know is that a soft shoe, even when new, will collapse under the impact forces of the walker, medium or broker. The soft sole of the shoe is compressed to the point where the foot and ankle roll in or out while the arch flattens and the connective tissue, or in this case the plantar fascia, will be over stretched causing irritation or fissures in the fascia. When you use a firm, stable shoe the sole of the shoe does not collapse keeping the feet and ankles properly aligned, this will result in reducing the stretching of the fascia. Yes, it’s that simple. Just remember that a shoe company control the movement of the foot and ankle and, in turn further reduce the stretching of connective tissues.

4) Run or walk uphill.

Another common cause irritation of the plantar fasciitis is walking or running uphill. The position of the foot and ankle, while they are forced walk uphill to cause an excessive range of motion in the joints of the foot, thereby causing the fascia and other connective tissues become overloaded.

5) Stretch inappropriate or heating.

Proper stretching is one of the most important things you can do to protect your body from injury. Regular stretching will also reduce muscle soreness after running and better performance. When stretching before running or other physical activities is important to start slowly. Do not bounce or stretch muscles beyond the point where you begin to feel tension. Start slowly and keep sections 10 to 15 seconds of rest between flights and always listen your body. If you feel any burning sensation then you are probably stretching the tissue, which can result in injury.
