What is plantar fasciatis, how would you know if you had it? Is it preventable?

[Guest guest]

El Kook,

 

It means: Inflammation of the fascia of the plantar.

Do you get cramps at night? Does your foot cramp when you point your toe?

 

Check the point of insersion superior to the point of origin of the plantar.

It may be part of a larger pattern.

Check for sensitivities/spasms in the calves. They could be pulling on the

plantar, not just a problem with the plantar itself.

 

Of course, all modalities for treating inflammation are indicated, as well as

for spasms & reestablshing range of motion to regain normalcy.

I have a pulling pain in the back part of my arch on one foot. It comes and goes

but can be painful especially first thing in the morning. I was told that it

might be plantar fasciatis.
