What are the Consequences If You Don’t Treat Your Plantar Fasciitis?

If you’re a runner, plantar fasciitis can be a nightmare. This condition can affect your daily activities. It makes your morning walk painful, and your ability to stand at work becomes challenging. Although the pain eases as you move, if it’s left untreated, it can cause further pain.

Here are things that can happen if you leave it untreated:

• Small tears in your fascia
• Knee strain from overcompensation
• Changes in walking patterns
• Hip and lower back strain
• Harder, longer recovery

What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

The plantar fascia is a band of connective tissue. It connects the heel to the ball of your toes and foot. It is stretchy and binds the bones in your foot together. As a shock absorber, it can take a lot of wear and tear over time. It works a lot, especially if you’re active. Here are the other causes of this condition:

• Stress fracture
• Too much stress from certain activities
• A pinched nerve in your heel
