That first step out of bed in the morning is the one that hurts most. Then it eases up after a few minutes, comes back after you've been sitting, and it's bad again by the end of the day.
That's plantar fasciitis, and it's the single most common thing we see.
Most of it settles down on its own. The cases that don't usually come down to one thing nobody checked: a tight calf muscle pulling on the heel with every step. If you've been fighting heel pain for months and nobody's looked at your calf, that's often the missing piece.
We're in Homewood, Mokena and South Chicago Heights. 708-799-7500.
