Heel Pain Hell

“Youch! There’s a nasty pain in my heel every time I walk. It’s worse in the morning and at the end of the day and it’s killing me. This has been bugging me for months ever since Christmas shopping”

Chances are that you have plantar fasciitis. The good news is that it’s easier to treat than to say. Severe pain in the foot is common and in the early to middle stages of injury it is very treatable.

Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of a broad thick band of tissue that spans the bottom of the foot from the heel to the toes. This structure supports your arch and acts as a shock absorber with each step.

Typically, it gets injured when walking much more than usual on hard surfaces because of all the extra stress. Lots of shopping, starting an aggressive new walking or running program, or hiking for long distances on vacation are a common trigger. However, too much sitting at work will weaken this tissue and over time will make you more susceptible to injury as well.
