Highlands Ranch Chiropractor of Mountain View Pain Center Talk About Plantar Fasciitis Diagnosis

Dec. 22, 2009 - PRLog -- 1. Pain on the inside (medial) portion of the calcaneus.
2. Pain during the first few steps in the morning.
3. Localized swelling on the bottom of the foot, or along the plantar fascia.
4. Standing on the toes causes either a band like pain on the bottom of the foot, or increases the pain symptoms near the calcaneus.
5. Pain on the bottom of the foot when pushing of with the toe. Ex. sprinting or jumping

If you are experiencing one or more of these symptoms, it is a good indication that you might have plantar fasciitis. In order to prevent further injury and pain, this would be a good time to consult your physician and discuss your potential plantar fasciitis diagnosis.

Your doctor may take is an X-ray to rule out any underlying fracture, dislocation, or other abnormality. In about 50% of cases where there is a plantar fasciitis diagnosis, a heel spur can be seen on the X-ray. The spur is the body’s way of trying to protect itself. Over time with the chronic strain and stress on the area the body will begin to lay down calcium in the area for stabilization. Once the spur forms it is common to have pain directly over that area.
