What the Heel (Pain)?
from From Tits to Toes Hosted by From Tits to Toes
Join hosts Dr. Rush and Dr. Sharkey for an episode all about plantar heel pain or plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is a bow-string shaped support of the arch that functions to absorb the stress and shock placed on our feet with activity. Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammation of the plantar fascia that occurs when excess tension and repetitive stress are placed on the structure causing damage and small tears. There are more than 3 million cases of plantar fasciitis per year in the US alone. Listen in as Dr. Sharkey discusses symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of this painful condition.
