Top 7 Tips for Relieving Ankle Pain
Time can heal all wounds. But it takes longer to heal the heel. Perhaps the biggest mistake people make is to think that heel pain will eventually go away on its own. Sometimes they wait six months before deciding they need to visit a doctor. But unlike other parts of the body, the foot has weight, so when the heel is injured, the inflammation persists. Your heel can harm for any variety of reasons. Perhaps the most common is inflammation or tearing of the plantar fascia, a band of fibrous connective tissue that runs from the heel bone to the toes at the bottom of the foot. This condition, known as plantar fasciitis, can cause pain that spreads from the heel to other parts of the foot. When you walk or run, heel pain can range from poorly fitted shoes to biomechanical problems. Conditions such as tendinitis and rheumatoid arthritis can worsen the heel. Here are some tips you can consider adopting to relieve your heel pain.
