Foot Pain Causes And Cures: Plantar Fasciitis

By Sue Doenim

We have a tough band of tissue that runs along the bottom of out foot from the base of the toes to the heel called the plantar fascia. When this tough band of tissue becomes inflamed, it feels like a hot knife is being stuck into your foot arch with every step you take. This type of foot pain is called Plantar Faciitis a.k.a Flip Flop Disease.

The nickname, Flip Flop Disease gives you an idea of the cause of this foot pain. Plantar Fasciitis is caused from wearing flimsy shoes that offer no foot support, weight gain that stresses and flattens the foot's arches and just in general being on your feet a lot.

Home cures for Plantar Faciitis include wearing low heeled shoes that support the foot and adding cushioned insoles to those shoes. Elevating the foot and applying ice packs throughout the day combined with taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication can help relieve the foot pain.

Foot therapy, cortisone injections and surgery are other treatment option if the foot pain caused by Plantar Fasiitis is chronic.
