#730 Top 5 reasons Runner’s Heel Pain doesn’t get better

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common conditions that affects runners.

In fact, foot pain consistent with plantar fasciitis accounts for about 40% of all visits to the podiatrists in the United States each year.

Unfortunately, just because you think that you have plantar fasciitis, and you started doing some simple things to treat it, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s going to get better.

If you are a runner, and you think you have plantar fasciitis, you must realize there are some avoidable mistakes you could make when trying to self-treat runner’s heel pain.

Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we’re talking about the top five reasons runners heel pain doesn’t get better.

#497 Which running shoes show running form wear pattern best?

This question came up from somebody in the coaching groups who wanted to make sure that she wasn’t going to get re-injured.

Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we’re talking about which running shoes show running form wear patterns best.

#460 Never listen to a coach wearing clown shoes

This episode actually comes from a YouTube comment. This runner saw an image from when I was running a 50 mile trail race wearing Hoka trail running shoes.

She assumed that she was having plantar fasciitis because she had some pain in her heel when she was running, and after run, she would noticed that she had a little bit of pain when she was walking around.
She runs a lot and she started having this occasional weird twinge of pain here and there and then she got heel pain. So she asked me to look at her foot and see what I could figure out.
