P L A N T A R F A S C I I T I S Plantar fasciitis presents a medical dilemma: a common problem seen by rheumatologists,

podiatrists and family practitioners with no one as yet able to provide a successful treatment. You know when you are experiencing plantar fasciitis. You feel marked pain on .the bottom

of your foot (medically called the plantar surface), that is worse on waking, making the initial steps out of bed almost unbearable. The term "fasciitis" refers to the swollen tissues between the bones of the foot and the thick skin sole of the foot.

Why this area becomes swollen and painful is unknown, The easy answers such as excessive running, prior foot injury or ill fitting shoes do not apply to the majority cases of plantar fasciitis.

MRI imaging has shown that in plantar fasciitis, not only is the plantar tissue swollen, but the surrounding bone is bruised. Current medical thinking is that possibly the pain of plantar fasciitis is not from the swollen tissue but from the injured Pone. . •

Since no one treatment can claim consistent success, a large number of therapies, claim attention. Advocates exist for physical therapy, application of heat, application of cold, shoe inserts! pressure molded orthotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatcry drugs, pain medication, shock wave therapy, ultrasound therapy, radiotherapy, steroid injections and surgery,

Practical treatment consists of finding a comfortable pair of shoes and keeping as active as possible, as in time the foot pain will leave, However, keep in mind, that the resolution of pain can take months.
