Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Knoxville: Alleviate the Pain and Heal Faster!

Q. What is Plantar Fasciitis?

A. Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that comes about when the tendon running along the arch of your foot becomes strained, making it feel tight and not as pliable as it should be. The plantar fascia is broad, dense tissue that runs from bottom to top on the underside of the foot; it can act as a beam or truss depending on what you’re doing with your feet during activity.

Q. Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis?

A. Plantar fasciitis is pain that shoots from the arch of your foot to the heel. The symptoms include a dull, constant ache and stabbing pains at times as well. Plantar fasciitis has been reported by many people who have this condition in various locations around their feet or ankles. It can also be accompanied by swelling due to inflammation caused on top of its area, which often worsens when you stand after sitting for long periods, but not during exercise like running because plantar fascia muscles stretch when we land our weight on them causing injury if they are too tight (which most patient’s experience).

Q. What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

A. Too much pressure and stretching damages inflame or tear your plantar fascia. Unfortunately, there’s no discernable cause for some cases. However, you are more likely to get plantar fasciitis if:

• You have high arched feet or flat feet – You wear shoes that don’t support your foot (especially on a hard surface)

• 70% of patients with plantar fascia is also an athlete.

Another cause could also come from trauma which would limit one’s ability to feel what should hurt them when stretching improperly; without feeling any discomfort in certain places.

Q. How is Plantar Fasciitis diagnosed? 

A. Your provider will, after noting your medical history, perform a physical examination of your foot. If putting pressure on the plantar fascia causes pain, then it’s likely that you have Plantar Fasciitis. This should be treated as soon as possible to avoid any further damage or permanent injury.
