How should we treat plantar fasciitis?

How can we identify plantar fasciitis?

In general, we can suspect plantar fasciitis when we identify some of the following signs:

  • Heel pain
  • Discomfort when getting up
  • Discomfort after resting

The tension that support the fibers of the foot in these cases, is a direct consequence of the forces as the weight, which is multiplied according to the speed of the activity that is carried out, either sport or work.

On the other hand, other factors must be added:

  • The position of the foot, which can favor stress.
  • Hypersensitization of the area
  • Inadequate nutrition
  • Inappropriate footwear
