EARLY DIAGNOSIS CAN PREVENT PLANTAR FASCIITIS FROM PLANTAR FASCIOSIS

Tomasz Biernacki, DPM states, "if plantar fasciitis and heel pain are caught early, this can help prevent a condition called plantar fasciosis from developing. This is essentially scar tissue that is exceedingly difficult to reverse. This is when people can develop years of chronic heel pain."

Dr. Biernacki further states, "it is estimated that between 10 to 40% of people around the world will develop chronic crippling heel pain at some point in their life. There are some extremely easy changes to implement such as foot gear and orthotic changes that don't have to be expensive and can be very quickly effective."
