Recently NFL quarterback Eli Manning  Nerve Shield Plus Review has developed plantar fasciitis. Anyone who has developed this condition is well aware of it, however many Americans do not fully understand the basics of this very common cause of heel and arch pain. Eli Manning’s injury during a game brings to light a less common cause of plantar fasciitis, but millions of Americans develop this condition without having to injure it on the playing field. This article will discuss this common condition, and how it is properly treated.

Heel and arch pain is caused by many different conditions. The most common type of heel pain is caused by inflammation in a ligament called the plantar fascia. The pain in this condition is located on the middle bottom of the heel or along the back of the arch where it meets the heel, and is usually present in most people upon first arising in the morning or after arising from a seated position. Plantar fasciitis, as it is called, is seen in those with flat feet and in those with high arches. Flat feet, which are usually the cause of this condition, allow for chronic stretching and tearing of the fascia where it attaches to the heel bone. The foot does not have to be severely flat for this to occur, as moderate flattening can cause damage also. As a result of this stretching, a spur can form along the line of traction of the fascia off of the heel bone. This spur is often misunderstood to be the source of the pain, whereas it is usually completely painless as it is positioned in the direction of the ground, and not poking down into it.

High arches, another common cause, allow for abnormal shock to be transmitted to the heel with every step. Direct injuries or traumatic tearing of the tissue (either minuscule, partial, or complete), though less common, can also cause inflammation to the plantar fascia. What often will happen is that someone will step on a rock or another blunt surface, which then causes significant irritation to the fascia directly through the contact. The fascia can also be torn by a strong force pushing up on the front of the foot, such as when someone tries to carry a heavy weight up the edge of a stair or the rung of a ladder.
