Plantar Fasciitis in Young Adults and Teens?

best athletic shoes for plantar fasciitis image

Marnie

I'm 15 and I've had plantar fasciitis for 8 months now, and by going to school, there is only so much walking I can cut back on. I've tried everything- Iontophoresis, Tennis balls, stretching, ice, taping, PT, and NOTHING helps at all! I'd really like to go back to running in the fall, but this awful injury holds me back.

Any suggestions or support?

Answer
Have you tried switching over to orthopedic shoes for additional cushioning and support. They work well in relieving pain caused by plantar fasciitis. If you go to http://www.drewshoe.com , they even sell athletic orthopedic shoes which will be great for when you want to go running.

How can I prevent my flat feet from getting any worse?

I have flat feet and am still very athletic. I am very fast and want to be an Olympic sprinter. I am 15. How can I prevent my feet from getting worse?

Answer
Flat feet are a very common foot condition which causes over-pronation and can potentially result in much more serious ailments such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or shin splints if not treated early.

Proper arch support through orthotic insoles or shoe inserts is an effective solution to foot pain caused by flat feet, and helps to prevent more serious foot ailments.
