Plantar faciitis is a foot problem that occurs when the plantar fascia gets damaged and inflamed.
A larger proportion of people suffer from this problem (1% of the population) but many people don't however even know they are suffering from it... only if symptoms are severe will they go see a doctor whom will diagnose it.
There are lots of different symptoms which differ in severity that can result in having plantar faciitis including foot cramps, pain and heel spurs.
Usually if treated correctly plantar faciitis can be cured within the space of a year or sooner depending how bad it is.... But how do you treat it? Well your body will repair the tear or inflammation in your plantar fascia by itself but to help this process it is a good idea to make sure that you solve what has caused it to prevent further damage and where shoes and insoles that fit well and offer the right support. You can buy plantar faciitis insoles which will help support you and ease the foot pain symptoms and will help the recovery process.
Usually plantar faciitis is caused by ill fitting shoes.. so either throw them away or actually that may not be needed and all you need to do is fit in a pair of those plantar faciitis insoles instead. These specialized insoles designed for people with or wanting to prevent getting plantar faciitis have been specially adapted to be abloe to support you foot in its natural shape and position to ensure that there is less risk to tearing the plantar fascia plus the extra arch support that they provide will mean the arch on your foot where the plantar fascia is located will not be under as much strain from your body weight and the pressure that gravity puts on it.
The arch on your feet have are under the constant pressure from your body-weight when you stand and have to undergo the constant shock from your feet hitting the floor when you have to take step when walking.
The arch on your foot is is therefore crucial and damage to this part may cause pain every time you walk... So doing something to prevent this is the best bet.
Plantar faciitis insoles also strengthen the muscles around the arch and plantar fascia meaning that the arch becomes stronger at withstanding shock and better at supporting you. Also this is good as this will help to prevent problems in later life because as you all know your muscles and tissues weaken as you get older... so strengthening them now is all ways a good idea for the future.
