Symptoms of plantar fascitis and plantar fasciosis

The most characteristic symptom of plantar fasciitis is pain in the front of the underside of the heel. More specific; pain in the front edge and on the inside of the heel bone - as well as further out under the sole of the foot. It is important to remember that although the pain is most often worst in front of the heel bone, this can vary somewhat from person to person depending on which tendon fibers are damaged.

Pain in plantar fasciitis is often particularly worst in the morning - especially in the first steps in the morning. But can also be worse throughout the day / afternoon after a lot of strain and stepping on the feet throughout the day.

The attachment itself to the plantar fascia - where the damage is most often obvious - can also be swollen and reddish. This swelling and redness will be especially present after a lot of strain, preferably on hard surfaces.

Clinical signs of plantar fascitis

A publicly licensed muscle and skeletal clinician (physician, chiropractor, physio or manual therapist) will be able to diagnose plantar fascitis by history (history), clinical examination, and orthopedic tests.

First, the clinician will review your symptoms and symptoms when taking history. Here, important information emerges that allows the therapist to distinguish between different diagnoses and get closer to a complete diagnosis.

During a physical examination of the heel and the sole of the foot, there will often be palpation tenderness (pressure tenderness) in the front edge of the heel bone and the underside of the sole of the foot (along the tendon plate). There can also be - from time to time - some swelling and redness around the injury itself.

Windlass test is a diagnostic test used to provide the therapist with information about the biomechanics of your plantar fascia and arch. The test tightens the plantar fasciae itself and contributes to additional information to diagnose.

Generally about self-employment

Plantar fasciitis is not as complicated as so many people want it to be. The plantar fascia has a certain load-bearing capacity - and if you exceed this over time, damage will occur. It's that simple.

One can contribute to improved foot posture (eg by supporting the crooked big toe) with hallux valgus support -which can make sure you walk more correctly on the foot. Another measure most people use is plantar fasciitis compression socks for increased blood circulation and faster healing of damaged tendon fibers. Those who are more severely affected should take advantage night shine.

Here you see one plantar fasciitis compression sock (click here to read more about it) which is specially designed to provide increased healing and improved blood circulation directly towards the actual damage in the tendon plate under the foot blade.
