Treating Plantar Fasciitis (Aponeurosis Plantar)

Osteoarthritis is a widespread degenerative disease, common among the elderly. It is characterized by the progressive deterioration of articular cartilage, the smooth, elastic tissue that covers the ends of the bones in the joints. This wear and tear can lead to joint pain, stiffness, swelling and reduced mobility and range of motion.

Causes and Risk Factors

Several factors can contribute to the development of aponeurosis plantar.

Overuse

Physical activities, such as running, that place long-term stress on the plantar fascia.

Hollow or Flat Feet

Abnormal foot structures can alter weight distribution (e.g., hollow or flat feet).

Wearing Inappropriate Footwear

Shoes without adequate support or with high heels can contribute to the development of aponeurosis plantar.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a heel spur?

Lenoir spur is a complication of plantar fasciitis. This bony growth develops where the plantar fascia meets the heel bone. Contrary to popular belief, it is not associated with the pain of plantar fasciitis. This is common in the general, non-symptomatic population.
