Planter fasciitis

  • Pain under heel
  • Calcaneal spur commonly seen on xray
  • Runners, occupatients with excessive walking standing, obesity
  • Bilateral calcaneus- rheum shit
  • Treatment
  • REST, ICE, PT, Stretching

Heel pad atrophy – obesity proonged activity

Calcaneal bursitis-

  • Typically causes posterior calcaneal burisits- poor fitting shoes/ high heels

-Morton neuroma- bengin- entrapment neuropathy of interdigital nurve, fusiform swelling proximal to bifurcation of nerve

– parestehsia and numbness near the toes

    • Dorsla ip joints of toes, navicular tuberosity
  • 3 treatments
    • Rest, ice, nsaids, steroids
