Bucks' Gooden out 4-6 weeks - Basketball Wires - MiamiHerald.com
This is a great intro into heel pain/ plantar fasciitis. Over the next few days, I will go over what causes heel pain, what it feels like and what can be done to treat it.
The calcaneus (heel bone) is the largest of the 26 bones in the human foot.
Causes: Heel pain is usually a result of abnormal biomehcanics (the way you walk, being abnormal). This abnormality will cause stress on the soft tissues that attach to the heel bone and to the heel bone itself. Stress on the heel bone may also be a result of a bruise or injury that occured while, jumping on hard surfaces, wearing poorly constructed footwear, running and walking and of course weight gain.
There are other conditions that can affect the heel bone that require a visit to the doctor and usually x-rays: these include, fracture or break of the heel bone, torn tendons, bone tumors and some types of arthtitis can attack the heel bone.
So it is always better to get this condition checked out no matter what friends and family have had.
We will next go over what you can do about this.
