Surgical Plantar Fasciitis
|
|
When your 1st few steps out of bed in the morning cause acute pain in the heel of your foot, you may have plantar fasciitis. It's an overuse injury affecting the sole or flexor surface (plantar) of the foot. A diagnosis of plantar fasciitis means you have inflamed the tough, fibrous band of tissue (plantar fascia) a thin layer of tough tissue supporting the arch of the foot. Repeated microscopic tears of the plantar fascia cause pain. Sometimes plantar fasciitis is called "heel spurs", but this is not always accurate, since bony growths on the heel may or may not be a factor. You're more likely to get plantar fasciitis if you're a woman, if you're overweight, or if you have a job that requires a lot of walking or standing on hard surfaces. You're also at risk for plantar fasciitis, if you walk or run for exercise, especially if you have tight calf muscles that limit how far you can flex your ankles. Most people with very flat feet or very high arches are also more prone to plantar fasciitis. There are a number of possible causes for plantar fasciitis and they often work in combination. Non-Surgical Plantar Fasciitis condition is ideal and surgical fasciotomy should be reserved for use in patients in whom conservative measures have failed despite correction of biomechanical abnormalities. Heel pain may also have a neurologic, traumatic or systemic origin. Get the right footwear. Get best shoes plantar faciatis and best shoe with metatarsal support |
