We are now deep into the summer season and it is this time of year when I start to see an increase of patients coming into the office to let me help them get rid of their heel pain or plantar fasciitis.  Everyone typically increases their activities in the summer whether that means running, hiking, and playing outdoors or increased yard work and home activities.  Combine that with going barefoot more often and wearing unsupportive foot wear such as flip flops and you have a recipe for heel pain and plantar fasciitis.  I ran across a great article in Runner’s World that describes this condition and have posted the link here http://www.runnersworld.com/tag/plantar-fasciitis.  This article is filled with detailed explanations and helpful tips.  And remember if you suffer from this, we are here to help speed up your recovery.  Give us a call and make an appointment (406)730-3669.
