Running: although it attracts a lot of passionate people and often becomes a lifestyle, it’s also the primary cause of sprain if done excessively, incorrectly, or even if you have a predisposition to certain injuries and a bit of bad luck. So, it’s not uncommon for novice and experienced runners alike to experience pain when running. It is important to know what causes it and how much it limits your ability to run further so that you can avoid overdoing it and exacerbating the problem.
In this article, we will talk about one of the most common problems runners face: plantar fasciitis. We will look at what it is, how much it affects your ability to run and how you can continue your passion safely.
Doctors insist on wearing comfortable, fit
shoes all the time, and for very good reasons. The wrong pair can affect your
health (we’ll get to that in a minute.) Of course, investing in high-quality
materials and cuts is something we try to achieve with each pair of shoes we
buy, but there are times when we can let an uncomfortable structure slide for
the sake of design.
Have you ever thought that some conditions don’t let you make that compromise ever, because you might lose your foot if you do? Well, if you thought we are talking about rare injuries or syndromes, think again. Diabetes can lead to those sort of problems.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common
reasons for heel pain. This condition causes inflammation of a thick portion of
tissues that runs across the heel and connects the heel bone to the toes.
People with this condition often dread the first step in the morning, which is when the pain level is at its highest. As you continue to move, the pain level generally lowers, but inactivity for even a few hours can bring it back.
