Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common problem that causes pain under the heel bone often with lengthy walks and prolonged standing. It is most often seen in middle-aged men and women.
Plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that lies at the bottom of the foot. It runs from the heel bone to the toe and forms the arch of the foot. The plantar fascia functions as a shock absorber and also supports the arch of the foot.
Too much pressure over the fascia may damage or tear away the tissue and can be a cause of heel pain. It is also possible that when the plantar fascia gets overstretched or overused repeatedly, there may be irritation or inflammation of the fascia. Inflammation of the plantar fascia causes plantar fasciitis.
Risk Factors For Plantar Fasciitis
Conservative Therapy
-
Medications - non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or Corticosteroid shots
-
Rest
-
Ice
-
Supportive shoes
-
Physical Therapy
-
Obesity
-
Long-distance running
-
Occupations that necessitate walking or standing on hard surfaces for long periods of time
-
Wearing shoes with poor arch support or thin-soled shoes.
Tennis Elbow/Golfers Elbow
-
Focal pain over the outside (Tennis) or inside (Golfer) of the elbow.
-
Risk Factors: Repetitive motions of the wrist and arm are more likely to develop tennis elbow. Examples include plumbers, painters, carpenters, butchers and cooks.
-
While tennis elbow affects people of all ages, it's most common in adults between the ages of 30 and 50.
Shoulder Tendinitis
-
Risks Factors: Improper technique in any sport is one of the primary causes that contribute to tendinitis. People with jobs that require overhead work (such as assembly work) and heavy lifting are at risk of tendonitis.
-
Symptoms: Shoulder clicking and/or an arc of shoulder pain when your arm is about shoulder height, pain when lying on the sore shoulder or lifting with a straight arm, shoulder pain or clicking when you move your hand behind your back or head, and general shoulder and upper arm pain. As your shoulder tendonitis deteriorates, your shoulder pain may even be present at rest.
