Plantar Fasciitis FAQs
Exploring Common Questions and Answers About Plantar Fasciitis.
Why does this take so long to heal?
Plantar fasciitis can be slow to heal because the plantar fascia is subject to constant stress and strain from walking and standing, especially when there is overpronation of the feet and internal rotation of the knee and hip. Addressing all of these potential instigators, in addition to a combination of rest and therapy, can lead to faster relief.
Why do I feel ups and downs in progress?
The healing process for plantar fasciitis can be gradual, with ups and downs in symptoms. This is normal and may be influenced by factors such as activity level, footwear, and adherence to treatment.
Is it from bad shoes?
Improper footwear can contribute to plantar fasciitis by providing inadequate support and placing excessive strain on the plantar fascia. Wearing supportive shoes with good arch support can help alleviate symptoms.
Is this from improper walking habits?
Improper walking mechanics, such as overpronation or supination, can place added stress on the plantar fascia and contribute to the development of plantar fasciitis.
Can this contribute to my lower back pain?
Yes, plantar fasciitis can contribute to low back pain, either indirectly or directly, depending on how you look at it. That’s why it’s important to always treat not only the area of pain but also the kinetic links, such as the knee, hip, and low back, which are contributing factors to the overall condition.
