Summer and fall is a time for wearing sandals and going barefoot for many people. Unfortunately this can lead to multiple foot aches. Most commonly heel pain, or as we refer to it in the office, plantar fasciitis.
This presents as pain in the bottom of the heel, usually worse in the morning or after rest. This is most commonly caused from the lack of support not given by many sandals, flip flops, or bare feet.
The best way to combat this is by not wearing this type of shoe gear, and wearing supportive shoes at all times (even in the house). In more severe cases you will need to wear orthotics in your shoes to give you added support through the heel and arch. These can be provided for you at your podiatrist’s office. They may be prefabricated or custom-made depending on the severity of the condition.
Other keys to treating plantar fasciitis is by stretching, icing, and taking anti-inflammatories. If this does not aid in your condition then it is recommended that you schedule an appointment with your podiatrist, so he or she can assist you in treating this annoying and many times painful condition.
Many patients visit our offices located in Daytona Beach, Palm Coast, Port Orange and Orange City with a similar scenario as described above. So whether you prefer to wear beachy summer sandals or six-inch heels like Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga, Atlantic Podiatry Associates can help.
At Atlantic Podiatry Associates, one of our four doctors, Dr. Andrew B. Green, Dr. James W. Rust, Dr. Dennis B. McBroom, or Dr. Matthew J. Hentzel will be happy to discuss proper stretching exercises that will help lessen the pain associated with plantar fasciitis and which shoes will best help to prevent pain.
