The Plantar Fasciitis Book
By no means do we believe that this book takes the place of visiting the office;
however, it can be used as a good reference source for information about
treatments than can begin at home and what treatments are used in the office
setting. This book is set up with different sections and online resources and
videos that can be helpful to your recovery from plantar fasciitis. You can view
each of these resources by clicking the accompanying link. These are the same
resources that I give to my patients in the office. If you are a visual learner,
I would recommend starting by watching this video explanation of plantar
fasciitis. This will help you better understand this book. The video is 27
minutes long.

Heel pain is most often caused by a problem called plantar fasciitis. This can
also be termed heel spur syndrome, where a spur is present on x-ray evaluation.
Heel pain can also be due to other causes such as a stress fracture, tendonitis,
arthritis, nerve irritation or even a bone cyst. Since there are many probable
causes, it is essential to have the heel pain properly diagnosed. Symptoms of
Plantar Fasciitis
The most common symptoms of plantar fasciitis are: ● Pain on the bottom of the heel
● Pain first thing in the morning when getting
out of bed
● Pain that increases over a period of time People with plantar
fasciitis often describe the pain as severe upon rising in the morning and then
improving as they become more active during the day. After they sit down and
relax, their pain is lessened until they begin moving again. After walking for a
few minutes, the pain decreases because they are stretching the plantar fascia.
For other people the pain is worse when they are on their feet for long periods
of time
