Plantar fasciitis: when your foot decides to wake up "with a whimper"...
Imagine this: you wake up in the morning, ready to start the day, but at the first steps your heel feels like you've been walking barefoot on stones all night. Welcome to the world of plantar fasciitis, a condition that makes every step a reminder that something is wrong with your foot. But don't worry! At Office Therapy, Kinesiotherapy, Massage & Rehabilitation Center, we know exactly how to "relieve the tension" and get your feet back in the game!
What is plantar fasciitis and what are the symptoms?
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia - that tough "cord" that connects the heel to the toes and supports the arch of the foot. With excessive strain or trauma, it becomes irritated and inflamed, leading to acute or prolonged pain, especially in the heel area.
Symptoms that are hard to ignore:
- Morning pain in the heel: It is felt most strongly in the first few steps after getting out of bed. It's like stepping on nails!
- Burning or tension: In the heel or arch, which may spread to the toes or up the calf.
- Pain after exertion: Even after a short walk, you feel that your foot refuses to cooperate.
