What Is Plantar Fasciitis (and Other Causes of Heel Pain)?
How to differentiate between plantar fasciitis and other causes of heel pain, such as heel fat pad atrophy .
I discussed how the insertion of heel-cushioning silicon gel cups into our shoes may help heel pad atrophy, but what can we do for plantar fasciitis? Before we get to treatment, let’s start with prevention, which I cover in my next video, How to Prevent Plantar Fasciitis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-prevent-plantar-fasciitis).
This is all taken from my latest book, How Not to Hurt (https://nutritionfacts.org/book/how-not-to-hurt/), available now for preorders. (All proceeds received from the book are donated directly to charity.)
