Did you know that Plantar Fasciitis is one of the leading causes of foot/heel pain, affecting at least 1 in 10 people at some point in their life. You may find yourself questioning... what exactly IS Plantar Fasciitis? How do I know if I have it? Well, let’s talk details! Your Plantar Fascia is a thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes, and is in the shape of a bowstring which is supporting the arch of your foot and absorbs shock when you walk. ...If tension and stress on this bowstring become too great (tension/stress most commonly caused by: inadequate shoe gear or excessive walking/running), small tears can occur in the fascia causing a sharp pain in the bottom of your foot and/or heel area! The pain is usually the worst with the first few steps after awakening, although it can also be triggered by long periods of standing or when you decide to get up after sitting for a while. Also, Plantar Fasciitis pain tends to reveal itself more AFTER your work-out has been completed versus during. Weird, huh? Now... do you think YOU could have Plantar Fasciitis? Do you want alleviation of your foot pain? Give us a call today and schedule an appointment to come see us @ The Foot and Ankle Treatment Center in Watkinsville, GA to have your feet feeling better than new!
