The inflammation is often the result of poor under limb and foot bio mechanics that is, the way we walk. Orthoses are also a key to urge the muscle, increase arch height and allow normal muscle function of the foot during gait without damaging the tibial is posterior muscle and tendon. Maximum sports require increased range of motion and flexibility in all joints of the body. Podiatrists are capable to assess such problems, diagnose the injury type and severity and create a treatment plan specific to the needs of the patient.

The extra blood to the bone is squeezed in and out of the bone during activity. Often symptoms diminish as a kid warms up into an activity. If the pain is initiated by an injury such as a kick to the back of the heel or if other symptoms occur such as swelling, inflammation or severe pain during activity, then quit activity immediately and consult your podiatrist.
