Heel Pain
Plantar Fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia or arch tendon of the foot. It is an overuse injury causing heel pain which may radiate forward into the foot.
The Plantar Fascia or arch tendon is a broad, thick band of tissue that runs from under the heel to the front of the foot . A rupture can sometimes occur at the origin of the arch ligament and result in inflammation and pain.
Plantar fasciitis can also be known as a heel spur although they are not strictly the same. A heel spur is a bony growth that occurs at the attachment of the plantar fascia to the heel bone (calcaneus). A heel spur can occur (with repetitive pulling of the plantar fascia) on a foot with no symptoms at all and a painful heel can have no heel spur present.
Symptoms:
- Heel pain, under the heel and usually on the inside, at the origin of the attachment of the fascia
- sometimes there may also be pain along the outside border of the heel. This may occur due to the offloading the painful side of the heel by walking on the outside border of the foot. It may also be associated with the high impact of landing on the outside of the heel if you have high arched feet.
- Pain is usually worse first thing in the morning. After a few minutes it eases as the foot gets warmed up, but can get worse again during the day especially if walking a lot.
- Plantar fasciitis or heel spurs are common sports which involve running, dancing or jumping.
- Runners who excessively pronate (feet rolling in or flattening) are particularly at risk as the biomechanics of the foot pronating causes additional stretching of the plantar fascia.
Causes:
- The most common cause of plantar fasciitis is very tight calf muscles which leads to prolonged and / or high velocity pronation of the foot.
- This in turn produces repetitive over stretching of the plantar fascia leading to inflammation and thickening of the tendon.
- As the fascia thickens it loses flexibility and strength.

Success Stories
Our son was diagnosed with calcaneal spur in the middle of the basketball and football season last year, he was 20 at the time and incredibly active. I found out about Physioline on the internet and decided to give it a go. Our son took the treatment and noticed a reduction in pain. DR. SANJAY BAKHSHI also adviced my son to wear silicon heel pad. Their treatment and advices helped my son in all the ways. I am thankful to physioline for their good treatment given to my son.MILIND MEHTA Mumbai Heel Pain
