One of the most common injuries in runners, joggers and tennis players is plantar fasciitis, pain in the bottom of the heel.
A band of tissue called plantar fascia extends from the five toes, along the bottom of your foot to attach to the bottom of the heel. When run, it will land Heel and educated in the fingers as you shift your weight to the other foot, causing all the weight to be held by your plantar fascia. This repetitive force can tear the fascia insertion into the heel.
Several factors increase force on the fascia, like shoes that have stiff soles that do not bend in the right place just behind the ball of your big toe, shoes that are too big for his feet, running too fast for the current strength of the plantar fascia, or not allow enough time to recover between fast workouts. It may also be the first site for arthritis pain. Doctors have no medications that can help heal the fascia planting. Cortisone injections and aspirin-like pills can reduce pain, but may also delay healing.
If you have plantar fasciitis, stop running and limit walking until you can run without pain. Since the pedal with your knees and hips and place little force on your fascia, you can usually pedal on a bicycle without pain. Wear shoes with flexible soles. The arch supports that limit the use of rolling movement of the feet, stretch your calf muscles and wear night splints. Surgery to reduce plantar, called fasciotomy, is usually ineffective and may even prevent healing. I have treated some patients with infractible pain, unconventionally, with 10 mg / day for three months alindronate.
Some podiatrists now offer a nonsurgical treatment for fasciitis plant that does not respond to conventional treatments. The Food and Drug Administration approved the machine extracorporeal shock wave Dornier EPOS has been shown than cure persistent plantar fasciitis. If the heel pain has not been cured by other treatments, see a podiatrist to see whether treatment with extracorporeal shock wave is right for you.
