If you pregnant and have noticed pain in the bottom of the heel when you wake up and step out of bed, it might be plantar fasciitis. The good news is that you don't generally have to take any medicine and won't have to have heel surgery to get your heel pain to go away. Nearly 40% of all visits to podiatrists are because of heel pain. Whether plantar fiasciits, heel spur syndrome, bone spur, or heel spur, the treatment is the same. About 85% of patients with plantar fasceitis can improve with stretching exercises alone. The following video demonstrates the stretches we recommend to our podiatry practice patients once they have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis.
Dr. Christopher Segler is an author, marathon runner, and award heel pain specialist with a podiatry practice in Chattanooga. He speializes in the most advanced non-surgical treatments for chonic heel pain. Even though he is a foot surgeon, he says that most patients with heel pain will never need surgery to relieve their heel pain. If you are pregnant and suffer from morning heel, you can request a FREE copy of Dr. Segler's book "No More Heel Pain; A Guide to Understanding Heel Pain Causes and Treatments" at http://www.AnkleCenter.com.
