| | Pathology Plantar |
 | | Plantar fasciitis is a condition wherein the plantar fascia is pulling on the periosteum at the calcaneus therefore causing inflammation and pain. | | | The plantar fascia is connective tissue that acts as a stabilizer and maintains the integrity of the arch of the foot. | | | The plantar fascia is repeatedly over-torqued because the calcaneus in the hindfoot is stable while the forefoot is over-pronating. |

| | Heel pain--plantar faciitis |
| | Plantar heel pain, or plantar fasciitis, is generated by the pull of the plantar fascia at its origin at the medial tubercle of the calcaneus. | | | Although some patients complain of fascial pain in the arch, it seems that the attachment of the plantar fascia at the heel is the proverbial "weakest link of the chain." The pain is secondary to contracture of the inflamed plantar fascia when the foot is relaxed and non weight-bearing. | | | The importance of stretching the plantar fascia before standing cannot be overemphasized and is a key factor in the treatment and care of heel pain. |

| | PLANTAR FASCIITIS |
| | Plantar fasciitis is a common foot injury in track, and this article presents Ebbets's views from his own experience in coaching, travel, and schooling. | | | By decreasing the effectiveness of the foot as a rigid lever, the ground impact forces of heel strike and toe-off must be borne by the muscles, ligaments and tendons of the foot. | | | Treatment of plantar fasciitis can be a long and frustrating process for both the coach and athlete. |

| | Dr. Pribut On Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis |
| | Plantar fasciitis, the most common heel problem seems to be caused by a painful partial tearing of the plantar fascia which connects the area of the foot near the toes with the heel. | | | “...plantar fasciitis is the most frequently encountered cause of heel pain. | | | The pain may occur either at the posterior or plantar portion of the calcaneus. |

| | Plantar Fasciitis - Treatment - Causes - Surgery - Exercise |
| | Treatment without surgery is usually successful in relieving the inflammation and pain of plantar fasciitis, especially if treatment is started when the symptoms of heel pain are first noticed. | | | The truth is that the pain is due primarily or exclusively to the inflammation of the fascia (plantar fasciitis) and not to the bone spur because significant heel pain occurs in the absence of spurs, and large bone spurs can be detected by X-rays in people with no heel pain. | | | If the heel pain is not treated, plantar fasciitis can become long-lasting (chronic) and cause constant heel pain while standing or walking. |

| | The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Plantar Fasciitis |
| | Athletes with plantar fasciitis experience severe foot pain that is aggravated by weight bearing with the first steps of the morning, then gradually subsides with activity. | | | Because plantar fasciitis typically arises from overuse, we focus treatment on rehabilitation and restoration of normal biomechanics. | | | Another theoretical concern in patients who have unilateral plantar fasciitis is that favoring the affected foot may sufficiently alter gait to contribute to injury at another anatomic site. |

| | In some cases surgery to detach the plantar fascia from the heel bone or removal of the bone spur is performed, however this has proved to not be that effective and should be avoided whenever possible - surgery is only required in a few extreme cases. | | | Restriction of dorsiflexion of the foot through the presence of tight calf muscles can often add to plantar fascial pain due to restriction in dorsiflexion of the foot during the propulsive phase of gait. | | | The patient presents with a dull to sharp pain occurring about the plantar calcaneal area when getting out of bed of a morning. |

| | I believe most podiatrists consider plantar fasciitis to be heel pain (or sometimes arch pain) that is the result of excessive straining of the plantar fascia. | | | The plantar fascia encapsulates muscles in the sole of the foot. | | | The classic sign of plantar fasciitis (which is often called a "heel spur" because it's easier to pronounce) is heel pain with the first few steps in the morning (84% of our visitors). |

| | The cornerstone of plantar fascitis treatment for the athlete is biomechanical.Podiatric practitioners possess the greatest skill set and knowledge available in medicine today to adequately address the pathomechanics of plantar fascia overload.The use of properly casted and designed custom foot orthoses should be the cornerstone of non-surgical treatment of subcalcaneal pain in the athlete. | | | Other authors have attributed "painful heel syndrome" to an entrapment of either the medial calcaneal nerve or the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve.However, the mechanism of entrapment proposed by these authors is still related to overload of the soft tissue and fascial structures on the plantar and medial aspect of the calcaneus. | | | Heel pain is the most common musculoskeletal complaint of patients presenting to podiatric practitioners throughout the country. |
