As earlier discussed, improper foot movement can cause plantar fasciitis. If the foot flattens too much at the arch, the tissue may overstretch. In return, if the foot flattens too little, the fascia is too tight and causes pain.
A heel spur can also cause plantar fasciitis. This bone growth can be caused by a pull on the heel bone over time.
Symptoms of plantar fasciitis occur on the bottom of the foot, usually in the morning. Pain may decrease after walking briefly, but comes back with rest or over activity.
I too had the bone spurs on both heels with the plantar's fasciitis, which made walking and sometimes even sitting very painful. Dr. Bob what is the main cause of this? The shoes we wear?
ReplyDeleteHi Candy,
ReplyDeleteShoes are very important. You also need to keep your bodyweight down. Walking on soft surfaces is a good plan.
Thank you,
Dr. Bob Moulas
