Plantar Fasciitis Becoming More Common Every Day

Feb. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- There are a number of things you can do to relieve plantar fasciitis and eventually cure it. If you have plantar fasciitis and wish to cure it without the use of surgery, here are the tools to cure it naturally:

First, get rid of any shoes you own that are more than a year old. Old shoes with worn heels or soles are often a major cause of plantar fasciitis. If possible, replace them with cork foot-bed shoes such as Haflingers, Kumfs or Birkenstocks.

Any existing shoes should either have good shoe inserts, heel cups or arch supports in them.

Next, wear a night splint to bed. Most sufferers say that the very worst pain of the day is when they first get out of bed in the morning. This is caused because the foot relaxes at night and the tears in the plantar fascia scar over at night in the relaxed position. However, when you get up in the morning and stand on your foot, stretching the plantar fascia, those scars rip apart and the foot is re-injured. A night splint keeps your foot in the right position so the fascia heals as it should.

Lastly, and most importantly, you need to do appropriate foot stretches three times a day. On my website you will find a stretch designed to cure plantar fasciitis in three to six months.
