Are You Dealing With Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that can occur after an injury, or from a lack of proper support for your feet over time. At Triangle Foot and Ankle Specialist in Southern Pines, NC, Dr. Jeremy Thomas will assess the structure of your feet, and come up with a treatment plan specific to your needs. Plantar fasciitis can come on suddenly, and rest may be the only treatment you need to heal your feet. If the pain is persistent, it is important to find the right foot care so that you can get back to the activities you enjoy.

Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

Symptoms of plantar fasciitis usually include pain in the heels, difficulty putting weight down on your feet, and pain at the bottom of your feet. Symptoms can come on after a long day walking, or after an injury where the plantar fascia at the bottom of your feet becomes injured and inflamed. Symptoms can last for a long time without treatment. If the symptoms persist for more than a few days with ice and rest, it's time to see a doctor for further evaluation.

Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis

Treatment for plantar fasciitis begins with resting the feet, ice, and gentle stretching. Over-the-counter pain medication can be used to reduce pain and inflammation. If symptoms remain, a podiatrist may recommend physical therapy to address strength, mobility and stretching, night braces to help stretch your feet, or cortisone shots to manage the inflammation. It takes time for your plantar fasciitis to heal, but supportive therapies can make it easier on your feet. Orthotics are often used to provide optimal support to your feet when you are walking or running.
