Plantar fasciitis refers to the symptoms of pain that people with this condition experience; a heel spur is a spur of bone that can form on the heel bone (calcaneus) as a result of this condition. About 50% of patients with plantar fasciitis have an actual bony spur. Plantar fasciitis is most often seen in middle-aged men, but can be found in all age groups. The condition is diagnosed with the classic symptoms of pain well localized over an area of the bottom of the foot near the heel. Often the pain is most severe when you first stand on the foot in the morning. Pain often subsides quite quickly, but then returns after prolonged standing or walking. The condition is sometimes, but not always, associated with a sudden gain of weight. Plantar fasciitis can be confused with a condition called

A Patient's Guide to Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain) Web Resources Available Introduction Anatomy Causes Symptoms ... Treatment Introduction Plantar Fasciitis is a condition that is sometimes called a heel spur . This condition causes pain on the bottom of the heel when putting weight on the foot. There are probably many underlying causes of heel pain, and some physicians feel that it is probably more accurate to simply make a diagnosis of heel pain rather than try and define an absolute cause in every instance of heel pain. Anatomy The Plantar Fascia is a structure that runs from the front of the heel bone (calcaneus) to the ball of the foot. This dense strip of tissue helps to support the longitudinal arch of the foot, by acting similar to the string on a bow. As you can imagine, when the foot is on the ground a tremendous amount of force is concentrated on the plantar fascia. This can lead to stress on the plantar fascia where it attaches to the calcaneus. Small tears of the tendon can result and are repaired by the body.

PLANTAR FASCIITIS ANATOMY The plantar fascia is a thick, broad, inelastic band of fibrous tissue that courses along the bottom (plantar surface) of the foot. It is attached to the heel bone (calcaneus) and fans out to attach to the bottom of the metatarsal bones in the region of the ball of the foot. Because the normal foot has an arch, this tight band of tissue (plantar fascia) is at the base of the arch. In this position, the plantar fascia acts like a bowstring to maintain the arch of the foot. Figure 1 : Lateral (Side ) View of Foot Plantar fasciitis refers to an inflammation of the plantar fascia. The inflammation in the tissue is the result of some type of injury to the plantar fascia. Typically, plantar fasciitis results from repeated trauma to the tissue where it attaches to the calcaneus. Figure 2 : Plantar (Bottom) View of Foot This repeated trauma often results in microscopic tearing of the plantar fascia at or near the point of attachment of the tissue to the calcaneus. The result of the damage and inflammation is pain. If there is significant injury to the plantar fascia, the inflammatory reaction of the heel bone may produce spike-like projections of new bone called heel spurs. The spurs are not the cause of the initial pain of plantar fasciitis, they are the result of the problem. Most heel spurs are painless. Occasionally, they are associated with pain and discomfort and require medical treatment or even surgical removal

Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Spur s, Heel Pain heelspurs.com is an extensive source of information about plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and heel pain. The links above are to different areas of the web site. The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis. Many people with plantar fasciitis have a heel spur on the front and bottom of their heel, but heel spurs do not usually cause pain. Causes of heel pain include lack of arch support, being overweight, inadequate flexibility in the calf muscles, suddenly increasing activity, and spending too much time on the feet. Arch support was rated the best treatment in a survey of 1,800 visitors to heelspurs.com, but it ranked lower in newer surveys. My favorite form of arch support is the powerstep insert . In the newer surveys, patients ranked rest, ice, tape, and night splints as the most beneficial treatments. Injections massage , and losing weight also ranked high.

Heel Disorders and Treatments Relief for Painful, Inflamed Heels Sharp pain, aching or stiffness on the bottom of one or both heels is a very common ailment. The pain is often at its worst upon awakening in the morning (or after sitting down for an extended period and then resuming activity), causing hobbling or limping for a few minutes before a comfortable stride can be resumed. As weight continues to be applied during walking or standing, mild or severe pain may persist. Adults-whether office worker, laborer or athlete develop the problem most frequently, although children, too, can be affected if the growing bone becomes irritated. Causes of Heel Pain Heel pain originates deep within the foot, directly on the heel bone or within the foot's connective tissues, called the fascia. Several layers of fatty tissue surround the heel bone, softening the impact or walking and running and protecting the bones and muscles of the foot. Beneath this padding, a fibrous band of connective tissue (the fascia) extends from the heel bone, supports the arch and reaches across to the toes. Pain can result when these tissues become irritated or inflamed, or when small spurs grow on the heel bone. Inflammation Most cases of heel pain are characterized by inflammation. First, the fascia begins to pull on the bone and the tissues become irritated, then inflamed. Inflammation of the fascia is called fascitis.

Select Category Info Center Shopping News Last updated: 03/30/03 Achilles Tendonitis Arch Pain / Arch Strain Arthritis Bunions (Bunionettes) ... Information Center > Heel Spurs Heel Spurs Definition The heel bone is the largest bone in the foot and absorbs the most amount of shock and pressure. A heel spur develops as an abnormal growth of the heel bone. Calcium deposits form when the plantar fascia pulls away from the heel area, causing a bony protrusion, or heel spur to develop. The plantar fascia is a broad band of fibrous tissue located along the bottom surface of the foot that runs from the heel to the forefoot. Heel spurs can cause extreme pain in the rearfoot, especially while standing or walking. Cause Heel spurs develop as an abnormal growth in the heel bone due to calcium deposits that form when the plantar fascia pulls away from the heel. This stretching of the plantar fascia is usually the result of over-pronation (flat feet), but people with unusually high arches (pes cavus) can also develop heel spurs. Women have a significantly higher incidence of heel spurs due to the types of footwear often worn on a regular basis. Treatment and Prevention The key for the proper treatment of heel spurs is determining what is causing the excessive stretching of the plantar fascia. When the cause is over-pronation (flat feet), an orthotic with rearfoot posting and longitudinal arch support is an effective device to reduce the over-pronation, and allow the condition to heal.

Subscribe now >> Physical Therapy and Heel Spurs Q: I have been a reader of your column for a long time and have always enjoyed it, but I am concerned with your most recent article addressing heel spurs on April 22. Being a physical therapist, I was very much surprised to see that you neglected to use physical therapy as an intervention for heel spurs. You mentioned exercising and stretching, but who provides this care? Having many friends who are orthopedic surgeons, I find it highly unlikely that they would have the time to sit with a patient and explain to them the mechanics of stretching. I also believe you missed out a large portion of treatment in terms of modalities like phonophoresis and iontophoresis. Phonophoresis drives hydrocortisone solution into the tissue using ultrasound, and iontophoresis uses electrical current to drive anti-inflammatory medication in. I mean no disrespect by this letter, but as a therapist who treats three to five of these patients per month with very good results, I was slightly offended at not having my profession mentioned in your article. Thank you for your consideration.
