What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

And why is your foot pain not getting better?

The bottom of your foot has a type of tissue called the plantar fascia. Sometimes this tissue can become injured by micro tears in its structure. It then gets very inflamed and the surrounding tissues are swollen, if not treated properly can take months and months to go away because of the repetitive stress on your heel from walking.

There can be many causes of Plantar Fasciitis including foot mechanics, increased exercises or something as simple as a change in footwear. The thing is people who don't have plantar fasciitis just don't get how painful or restrictive it can really be.

However the good news is that with the right treatment is can be resolved.

Podiatrists also address common diabetic foot issues like calluses, corns, and ingrown toenails promptly to prevent complications. Additionally, they offer specialized treatments such as diabetic foot ulcer management, wound care, and offloading techniques to protect vulnerable areas. Early detection and intervention can prevent serious complications like infections.

Regular visits to a podiatrist are vital for diabetic individuals to maintain optimal foot health and minimize the risk of diabetic foot complications. Collaborating with a podiatrist ensures comprehensive care tailored to the specific needs of diabetic patients, promoting overall well-being and quality of life.
