Join hosts Dr. Rush and Dr. Sharkey for an episode all about plantar heel pain or plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is a bow-string shaped support of the arch that functions to absorb the stress and shock placed on our feet with activity. Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammation of the plantar fascia that occurs when excess tension and repetitive stress are placed on the structure causing damage and small tears. There are more than 3 million cases of plantar fasciitis per year in the US alone.  Listen in as Dr. Sharkey discusses symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of this painful condition.  Have a question we didn't cover or a story you want to share?  Send it to us via the link below, or DM on Instagram @fromtitstotoes or email us at [email protected].  Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @fromtitstotoes for more information on each episode and behind-the-scenes recording fun!
