HEEL PAIN COMMONLY CAUSED BY PLANTAR FASCIITIS

Marlene Reid, DPM, a podiatric surgeon at Family Podiatry Center in Naperville, Illinois, recently discussed the most common causes of heel pain and explained ways to mitigate any pain flare-ups of plantar fasciitis during an interview with Radio Health Journal. "Wearing a shoe with a stable, firm heel counter morning to night, literally from when you wake up in the morning to when you go to bed at night ...is important to stabilize the heel,” says Dr. Reid, a spokesperson for the American Podiatric Medical Association.

Dr. Reid discussed the stages of plantar fasciitis, and that sometimes the condition evolves from acute to chronic and requires different types of  treatment options currently available. "Now we offer a variety of regenerative types of medicine" which gives your body the resources it needs to heal itself,” said Reid.
