Finally Revealed: The Shocking Truth About Plantar Fasciitis… Information Your Podiatrist Won’t Tell You
What I am about to reveal to you about plantar fasciitis may shock you. It might make you mad. You may not even want to believe it. But I promise you…
It Is Absolutely True and Based on My Over 37 Years Experience as a Chiropractic Orthopedics Specialist Who Has Successfully Treated Countless Numbers of Plantar Fasciitis Cases
If You Have Been Diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis or Been Told Your Foot Pain is Due to a Heel Spur, You Will Want to Pay Careful Attention to this Material.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS IS NOT CAUSED BY HEEL SPURS
Yes, that’s right. I know, when you went to your podiatrist and said you had heel or foot pain, they took an x-ray and said “you have a heel spur, that’s what’s causing your foot pain… it’s causing plantar fasciitis…”
This is Completely Untrue in Most Instances. So Why Would They Say This?
- It’s the easiest explanation for you to understand. After all, you can see it in black and white on the x-ray. Or…
- They believe it due to inadequate training and “old thinking” or…
- It’s used as an excuse to provide costly treatments, even surgeries
The Truth About Heel Spurs and Plantar Fasciitis
Excess tension in the fascia (ligament like tissue that connects the bottom of the heel to the toes to maintain your arch) is the cause of plantar fasciitis. It is literally what the term means: inflammation of the plantar fascia. Over a long period of increased tension, the tugging on the heel causes your body to respond to make the attachment stronger. Your body begins laying down bone material onto the fascia where it attaches. This is seen as a heel spur. Therefore, the reality is…
PLANTAR FASCIA TENSION CAUSES HEEL SPURS
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND
And long before the spur is noticeable, you already have inflammation of the fascia. It may not be very noticeable at first. Once you have full blown fasciitis and it is very painful, then it is likely the spur is forming. And that means…
Plantar Fasciitis Occurs Before a Heel Spur!
So if you have fasciitis before a spur develops, what do you think removing the spur is going to do? Nothing.
Well may be not nothing. It could result in…
- Painful surgery that takes weeks or months to recover from, only to have the foot pain persist
- Costly podiatry bills and numerous visits
- Damage to the fascia weakening it and causing you to need further surgeries later

HOW THE HECK DID I GET PLANTAR FASCIITIS?
WHAT CAUSES PLANTAR FASCIITIS?
There Are a Couple of Possible Causes of Your Plantar Foot Problems:
- Long periods of standing on hard surfaces
- Unaccustomed stair climbing or walking on uneven surfaces
- Poorly designed shoes, no support of the rear foot and little shock absorption in sole
- Jumping or hard stepping from height like a truck
- Weight gain
Anything that causes an excess loading of the arch of your foot can cause the fascia to become strained and then inflamed. People with arch problems, too high of an arch or too low (flat feet) are prone to inflammation of the fascia.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE PLANTAR FASCIITIS?
This part is fairly straight forward. An examination by a doctor who is experienced in plantar fascia problems can easily do a couple of physical tests and ask the right questions to pinpoint the diagnosis. An x-ray is helpful to see if you have progressed to heel spur stage which would mean your cases has been there a long time and may take longer to treat.
Symptoms Check for Plantar Fasciitis:
Is your pain located underneath the foot somewhere between the heel and the toes?
Do your feet hurt more the first several steps when you get out of bed or after sitting for a while?
Is your pain like a pebble in your shoe near the heel and burning in the middle of the arch?
Self Test for Plantar Fasciitis:
Sit in a chair knees bent with bare feet, reach down and grab your toes in your hands und pull up. Make sure to not only make your ankle move up, but also bend the toes back towards you. Does that recreate the pain?
Now stretch your leg out so your knee is straight and do the same stretch. (If you can’t reach your toes, wrap a towel around your foot and use the towel like reigns of a horse). Does this cause pain?
If You Have These Symptoms and These Tests Cause Pain… Most Likely You DO Have Plantar Fasciitis
If your plantar fasciitis is in the beginning stages it can be hard to provoke the symptoms because the inflammation is worst first thing in the morning. This is because while lying in bed overnight your foot tightens up. Your first several steps will be painful then it may calm down. This is actually a good sign. It means your problem is still mild and more easily treated. Which brings me to…
PLANTAR FASCIITIS TREATMENTS THAT WORK
First off, if you’ve been told you need your heel spur removed to get rid of your plantar pain, don’t. It won’t work.
The heel spur is a symptom of your problem, not the problem itself.
Next, if you’ve been told to get a cortisone shot in your heel before trying the natural, non-invasive procedures I will tell you about momentarily, don’t.
It’s premature and if you have multiple cortisone (or other steroid) injections into the area it can actually weaken the plantar fascia and could lead to complete rupture!
