best walking shoes plantar fasciitis image
SageEyes
I am looking at getting some good shoes for plantar fasciitis. The ones I have looked at are pretty expensive. I want to get some input from others before I pay that kind of money. Any and all comments would be most welcome!!
Answer
Shoes aren't really going to help much. Plantar fascitis is caused by your achilles tendon tightening up on your leg and as it pulls on the ends of your muscles as it shortens up, it pulls up on your heel as that is the end that has the least amount of resistance to it. The other end is your knee. When the tendon pulls up on your heel it causes pain where it's attached, and can cause pain in your ankle as well for it pulls your foot up into your ankle so it can move as it should for walking. To get rid of that pain you have to free up the tendon in your leg and here's how to do that:
Achilles tendon:
While sitting and your leg on your lap, take both thumbs and place them side by side at about ankle height on the tendon on the back of your leg and apply pressure hard and hold. After 30 seconds slowly raise your toes up as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your foot there for another 30 seconds.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

Is plantar fasciitis a hard condition to cure? What's the fastest way to heal plantar fasciitis?

My 13yr old son was recently diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis and has a hard time walking - he's in the middle of football training and can't wait to return. I've been told it can take months to heal, even with purchasing New Balance tennis shoes especially designed for people with PF. What can I do to help speed up his healing process and make him more comfortable. Currently he is on Advil 3x daily and will be seeing a podiatrist next week.
Answer
I've had it too, and I'm a CNA, so I understand his pain. It can be a hard condition to cure if he doesn't take care of himself and rest his feet when he needs to. The podiatrist will probably tell him to take NSAIDs (like Aleve) and an anti-inflammatory (Prednisone) if possible. In the meantime, buy foot inserts that will help his arch, or you can get a two-liter soda bottle, fill it up with warm water and cover the cap, and roll under the foot to help support his arches so they don't fall. Hope this helps!
