Did you know that if your heel is prone to pain when walking, you may have a condition known as plantar fasciitis?
Maybe you already have them, and are looking for relief from the pain that they can cause. Here’s where we can help.
Plantar fasciitis results from inflammation in the plantar fascia. When too much stress is placed on the tissue, overtightening and tearing may set in, leading to pain in the heel/arch of your foot.
Although the tissue recovers slightly overnight as you rest, it can still tear upon your first steps in the morning.
There are a few possible causes for bunions.
Smaller bunions can also happen on your little toe, and these are called bunionettes.
Plantar fasciitis can be resolved quickly if detected early. However, if you leave it to worsen over time, it can take a while to heal.
If you’re worried that you might be developing plantar fasciitis, here’s a quick checklist for you to assess this possibility.
| Does you feel pain when: | Does the arch of your foot/heel hurts when: |
 Taking your first steps after getting out of bed in the morning | Goes away after walking for about 10-15 minutes |
| Sitting down for prolonged periods of time | Is dull/sharp |
| Standing for prolonged periods of time | Worsens and lasts longer over time |
| Climbing the stairs | |
| Standing on tip-toes |
If you’ve checked most items in the list, you may have plantar fasciitis. Before the condition escalates, you should get it properly diagnosed.
