Poke it gently, and see where the pain is coming from. If the pain is coming from the bottom of your foot, especially near your heel, then it may be Plantar Fasciitis. In addition to poking your foot, pay attention to how much pain you feel when you first wake up. Usually, the pain caused by Plantar Fasciitis will be worse when you first wake up, especially with the first few steps you take. Finally, pay attention to when you have been spending long periods of time either standing up or are getting up from a seated position. Periods of inactivity can sometimes trigger the pain. Potential Causes Of Plantar Fasciitis Understanding the causes of Plantar Fasciitis first requires knowing a little more about your plantar fascia. Your plantar fascia is primarily responsible for Plantar Fasciitis. As you walk and stretch, it acts like as a shock absorber, helping to reduce the impact on your feet as you walk. In addition, it acts like a bowstring, supporting the arch of your foot. Through repeated use, small tares can begin to form in the plantar fascia. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

7. Best Home Remedies For Plantar Fasciitis! When stretching and moving around your foot, this will irritate the damage and make it worse. It will eventually become inflamed if not treated. Plantar Fasciitis can be caused by any number of the following conditions. If you fall into more then one category, then the chances of getting Plantar Fasciitis increase dramatically. #1. Occupation On Your Feet If you work on your feet all day, then you increase your risk of developing Plantar Fasciitis. The more hours you spend walking, the less muscle mass you have in your legs, and the more varied your activity, the greater the chance that you will get Plantar Fasciitis. #2. Being Overweight Or Obese Being above your recommended weight level will lead to an increased chance of Plantar Fasciitis. The more weight you have, the more pressure you are putting on your plantar fascia. The increased weight will wear down your plantar fascia quicker, leading to an earlier onset of Plantar Fasciitis. #3. Existing Problems With Foot or Stride Plantar Fasciitis can also occur if you have problems with either your foot or the way you walk. Your stride for example can cause Plantar Fasciitis to occur. If this is the result, then simply changing how you walk may help. Copyright ©. All rights reserved. Eliminate Plantar Fasciitis.6

8. Best Home Remedies For Plantar Fasciitis! In addition, if you have naturally flat feet or otherwise suffer from foot related problems your chance of getting Plantar Fasciitis will increase. #4. Forms Of Exercise Exercises that place more stress on the plantar fascia, including ballet dancing, dancing, and long-distance running, all increase your risk of Plantar Fasciitis. #5. Your Current Age Plantar Fasciitis is most often seen in individuals between the ages of 40 and 60. Treatment Options For Plantar Fasciitis There are a wide variety of non-surgical treatments that will cause Plantar Fasciitis to go away in between 4 to 6 months. In fact, roughly 90% of all cases fit this category. Before ever considering a surgical option, check with your doctor to see what treatment options are available to you. Depending on your age and the nature of your condition, you may have several different treatments to choose from. For the small percentage that will not recover through non- invasive means, surgery may be the only option. Once the 6- month period is over, other treatments have been attempted, and your doctor agrees, it is time for surgery. Seen as a last resort, endoscopic plantar fasciotomy has a 76% reported success rate and requires finding a specialist who understands the procedure intimately. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

9. Best Home Remedies For Plantar Fasciitis! 7 Potential Causes Of Plantar Fasciitis Lets take a look at the leading causes for Plantar Fasciitis. Those causes on the top are generally more common then the causes towards the bottom of the list. #1. Your Current Age How old are you? Plantar Fasciitis strikes men and women most often when they are between the ages of 40 and 60. Due to changes in the body as well as changes in life, the conditions for Plantar Fasciitis reach their maximum potential. #2. Your Weight Simply put, the more weight that our plantar fascia has to hold up, the quicker it will ware out. This is a problem for people who are overweight, and an even bigger problem if you are obese. In either case, by losing the weight, you reduce the pressure and give your ankles and heels time to recover. #3. Underlying Medical Condition This is especially true if you are experiencing Bilateral Plantar Fasciitis, or pain on either side of your foot at the same time. There are several underlying medical conditions that may show symptoms in your plantar fascia, including diabetes and a compromised immune system.

The Anatomy Of The Foot And Ankle A triumph of evolution and practicality, our foot and ankle are incredible when you think about it. Copyright ©. All rights reserved. Eliminate Plantar Fasciitis.9

11. Best Home Remedies For Plantar Fasciitis! All of our weight, sometimes in excess of several hundred pounds, is placed upon our two ankles and feet. Through a complex set of musculature, bones, and muscle memory, we are capable of walking, running, jumping, and moving throughout our world without a second thought to our ankles and feet. Only when something goes wrong do we begin to take notice. Lets take a moment to review the basic anatomy of our feet and ankles. Designed as a brief guide to this region of our body, we will look at the muscles, bones, and purpose of these particular parts of our body in our lives. With that out of the way, we begin with the part of our body furthest away from us, our toes. I. Our Outer Feet: Our Toes, aka the Phalanges Even something as simple as a toe is complex when you view everything that goes into its design. First, all five toes, except for the big toe, have 3 bones in them, known as Phalanges. While the big toe only has the distal phalanges (the one furthest from the foot) and the proximal phalanges (the one closest to the foot,) all other toes have an intermediate bone known as the middle phalanges. On the top of every toe grows nails, designed to help support the ends of our digits. Copyright ©. All rights reserved. Eliminate Plantar Fasciitis.10

12. Best Home Remedies For Plantar Fasciitis! With our toes, we can better balance, shift our weight, and quickly react. As an interesting thought experiment, pay attention to your toes the next time you go for a walk. You may be surprised how often you use them without even knowing. There are several conditions that effect our toes, including gout, bunions on the big toe, ingrown toenails, mallet toes, claw toes, and Morton’s neuroma. If you believe something may be wrong with your toes, you should get it checked out immediately. Given the crucial role that toes play in balance, treating your toes early can save you a lot of hassle later in life. II. The Center Part of Our Feet In the central part of our feet, you can find several different bones, including the talus, the cuboid, the navicular, and the cuniform bones. These bones are central to our success in walking. Held together by muscle and tendons, these bones react to our weight, and are designed to deal with the stress and strain associated with walking/running. In addition, they are often considered pyramidal in shape, as they explain the bump at the top of the center of our foot. The center part of our feet is an excellent place for several medical conditions to occur. A common problem in the center of the foot is Plantar Fasciitis. Copyright ©. All rights reserved. Eliminate Plantar Fasciitis.11

13. Best Home Remedies For Plantar Fasciitis! Effecting approximately 1 out of 10 Americans over the course of their lifetime, Plantar Fasciitis is caused by a wearing out of the plantar fascia. Being over 40, overweight, having bad walking posture can all increase the chances of Plantar Fasciitis. Another common central foot problem is athletes foot, which usually results in skin irritation around the bottom of the feet, requiring daily treatment. Gout, which is the inflammation and crystal production between joints causing severe pain, can also occur here. III. The Hindfoot: Our Heel And Ankles The Tibia and Fibula form the parts of the ankle that we are most accustomed to seeing. In addition, there is the calcaneus bone at the back of our foot. This bone is the largest bone in our feet. Within the ankle, all of our complex motion is made possible. The Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscle to the heel of our foot, makes running and walking simple. The heels and ankles of our feet is another place where osteoarthritis may occur, causing deformity, swelling, and pain. In addition, our heels are subject to heel spurs and calluses over the course of our lives and ranging from manageable to painful. Due to the complexity of our feet, figuring out solutions to Copyright ©. All rights reserved. Eliminate Plantar Fasciitis.12

14. Best Home Remedies For Plantar Fasciitis! various conditions may require understanding the anatomy and using targeted cures. Outside of that, there are some simple ways to improve the overall quality of your feet. The first is to lose weight if you are above your recommended weight level. Additional weight adds additional pressure to your feet and the complex system of bones, muscles, and ligaments that comprise it. By losing weight, you give all of this a break. Physical therapy, insoles, and antibiotics can also be used to treat a range of conditions that may come about through your feet. Finally, if the problem refuses to go away or is based in a part of the foot that cannot be directly addressed, then surgery may be the only option left to you. How To Avoid Plantar Fasciitis Pain of any type can be debilitating and impact your lifestyle in a negative way. This is especially true when you are dealing with pain in your feet and heels. Since you rely on your heels for support, it can be difficult to impossible to resume normal levels of activity while dealing with heel pain.

15. Best Home Remedies For Plantar Fasciitis! Plantar fasciitis can be a condition that is long term and only worsens with time. What is the Plantar Fascia? The plantar fascia is a ligament that can be found within your foot. It is essentially a band of tissue that is design to offer support for your arch. It is what connects your heel bone to your toes. This means that with every step you take or movement that you make, you are relying on your plantar fascia to provide some type of support. It is possible to strain your plantar fascia through any type of movement or to weaken it over time. When your plantar fascia becomes strained or weakened, it will result in swelling and inflammation that can cause even more pain. This means that your heel will become very painful for you to walk or stand on. If the bottom part of your foot hurts when you walk or make a move, you more than likely are dealing with Plantar Fasciitis. Strain To Tear A strain of the plantar fascia is what occurs first, but over time the strain can result in tiny tears of the plantar fascia. It is when the tiny tears occur that inflammation and swelling become most noticeable. Copyright ©. All rights reserved. Eliminate Plantar Fasciitis.14

16. Best Home Remedies For Plantar Fasciitis! Plantar fasciitis will normally always worsen to the point of tearing unless you stay off your feet at the first sign of pain. There are some type of people that are more likely than others to deal with plantar fasciitis. Who Is Most At Risk? The people that are most at risk for dealing with plantar fasciitis are those people that have very high arches or arches that are incredibly flat. Having arches on either side of eth spectrum can be a telltale risk that you should be aware of. People that have flat or high arches rely on their plantar fascia at a higher rate for support and in turn put more stress on this ligament. The result is that the plantar fascia will become weakened and be more prone to being torn. People that walk or stand for long periods of time on a regular basis are also much more likely to have to deal with this type of heel pain. This is especially true for people that are overweight and putting more stress on their plantar fascia as a result. If you have tight calves or do not wear proper fitting shoes, you are also at risk for being diagnosed with plantar fascia. It is important to be aware of the risk factors and make an effort to make necessary changes to limit your risk of damaging your plantar fascia. Tips For Avoiding Plantar Fasciitis Plantar fasciitis is a painful heel condition that normally affects people that are more active. This type of injury can be very annoying and persistent.

There are a number of elements that serve to define planta fasciitis. Furthermore, there are a number of different ways to both test and treat the condition. The more you understand what a plantar fasciitis diagnosis entails, the better you will be at communicating with your doctor about diagnosis, testing, and treatment. Defining Plantar Fasciitis In the first place, it is important to understand exactly what plantar fasciitis involves. It is the most common cause of heel pain/discomfort in individuals. Your plantar fascia represents flat bands of tissue that works to connect the heels to the toes. It is also responsible for supporting the arches of your feet. Straining the plantar fascia can cause weakness, swelling, and irritation in the area, which in turn can cause your heels to hurt as you walk. Plantar fasciitis is typically found in middle-aged individuals. How To Diagnose Plantar Fasciitis Straining the ligament can lead to plantar fasciitis. It is worth keeping in mind that younger people who are on their feet a lot can develop this condition, as well. Having high arches or flat feet can also lead to this condition, in addition to being overweight, or if you are wearing old/poor- fitting shoes. Copyright ©. All rights reserved.

This will include watching you stand, in addition to watching you walk. Contrary to what you might suspect, x-rays are not actually an effective means of achieving a plantar fasciitis diagnosis. This is largely because the ligaments will not show up very clearly. However, there are certain situations in which your doctor might suggest having x-rays performed. These scenarios can include stress fractures, bone cysts, or anything else that might qualify as a serious bone or ankle problem. While an x-ray might reveal the presence of a heel spur, this does not inherently mean that the individual also has plantar fasciitis. In certain extreme cases, some of the tests that might be used to achieve a plantar fasciitis diagnosis include: Copyright ©. All rights reserved. Eliminate Plantar Fasciitis.26

It may help to sit in front of a mirror where you can see your foot fully. You will want to cut 2 strips roughly 3 inches long. These are called your anchor strips, and will form the base that everything else attaches to. The first anchor strip will go around the bottom of your foot and over the plantar fascia. The second anchor strip will go around the bottom of your foot just in front of the sole of your foot. It is very important to remember not to make these too tight. You want a comfortable tape.

Once complete, apply a strip of tape over both of your anchors, helping to keep everything in place. Remember to not apply too much pressure with the anchor strips. #4.

As in step 2, begin on a far corner of the top anchor, and wind the tape past the lower anchor, around the base of your heel, and back to the other side of the upper anchor. Repeat from the other side. When You Are Done When you are done taping up your feet, you will want to stand up and test the taping. You should not feel any pain caused by the taping itself. If you do feel pain, then you taped up your foot too tight and you should redo it. It may take you several tries before you can successfully and repeatedly tape your foot.
