Normally, the pain starts in the front or bottom of the heel, but it can effect the entire foot. It can last weeks to years, but without treatment it can become permanent. If you feel pain in the morning, there is a chance that you have a heel spur. Usually, the pain intensifies when you are walking or standing.
If the pain begins when you change positions, increase your activity, or after weight gain, it can be the result of a heel spur.
The most common treatments are stretching the calf muscles, rest, losing weight, wear comfortable shoes with good support, and ice application.
When you feel pain, it may be a result of inflammation. You can reduce inflammation by raising the foot above the heart and icing.
Chiropractic care has been studied by the Journal of Canadian Chiropractic Association to improve patients’ chances of alleviating heel pain from plantar fasciitis.
