Plantar Fasciitis

Do you suffer from sharp, stabbing pains in your heel when you step out of bed in the morning? What you are experiencing is likely plantar fasciitis. It is an inflammation of the band of fibers that run from your heel to toes. While you are sleeping the band begins to repair itself in a relaxed position. First thing in the morning, when you put pressure on the foot, the newly repaired fiber stretches and causes pain.

This is a common condition and can usually be treated with a conservative care regimen of icing, stretching, anti-inflammatory medication, and arch support. If not addressed, this can become a chronic condition that may require non-invasive Shockwave therapy or surgery.
