Plantar Fasciitis Treatment In Adelaide
Foot pain is common in distance runners who have increased their load (e.g. speed, hills or distance) too quickly.
It is also very common in people aged between 45-64 and is 2.5 times more common in females.
Often minor symptoms gradually turn into something more serious that starts to limit your activity and you start to worry if you're doing more damage to the tendon, or possibly even rupturing it.
Common symptoms of plantar fascia pain include:
pain and stiffness in the back of the foot and lower leg (particularly in the morning)
pain when you first start moving that tends to improve or disappear after you warm-up
often there is a 24-48 hour delay where you will feel pain, often making it quite a confusing to understand the triggers
Treatments that we know don't work:
complete rest
excessive stretching
cortisone injections
surgery

Don't delay your treatment...
The occasional ache or pain may be nothing to worry about, but failing to pay attention to strong pain may end up causing you a lot of problems in the future. If foot pain is reducing your ability to take part in the activities your normally do, then it is time to get it looked at. In general, chronic foot pain that is worse in the morning and that is affecting your life is a sign that something is wrong.
A serious problem will not correct itself, and left untreated, can result in more pain and irreversible damage.
