Plantar Fasciitis: Pain & Treatment

Experiencing Sharp Foot Pain When Walking? It Could Be Plantar Fasciitis!

Many people describe foot pain as if they are stepping on nails or feeling a tearing sensation—a common sign of plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis primarily affects the heel, but pain can also occur in the front or sides of the foot. Think of it as having a deep bruise on the sole. If this bruise were on the palm, it would heal within a week with proper care. However, because the foot bears weight constantly, healing takes longer and requires dedicated care.

Additionally, since the feet are farthest from the heart, blood circulation is weaker, making recovery even more challenging. By the time noticeable pain develops, the condition is often already chronic, meaning the damage has been present for a long time.

Without treatment, severe cases can persist for over two years, making early intervention crucial. In natural therapy clinics, treatment typically takes at least two months for significant improvement.
