  A thick band of tissue at the bottom of the foot called the plantar fascia can become inflamed and cause plantar fasciitis/heel pain (spur) syndrome. Around 10% to 15% of people might develop plantar fasciitis, a rather common foot condition. It can happen to anyone at any age. It is sometimes referred to as the "policeman's heel." The plantar fascia expands when subjected to excessive stress as a result of improper loading, leading to microtears and tissue degradation. It can cause discomfort in the arch area of the foot, the heel, and the entire bottom of the foot. Because scar tissue is less flexible than the fascia and cannot fully heal these micro tears, the condition may not be resolved for several months. Nonetheless, conservative treatment is effective in about 90% of instances. CAUSES OF PLANTAR FASCIITIS Most of the time, there is no known cause, and anyone can be impacted.

Physiotherapy is important in facilitating the restoration of muscle strength, limb control, balance, and coordination later, as the patient starts to regain limb control. Physiotherapy solely rehabilitates the muscles, focusing on functional restoration and stamina building; it has no impact on the nerve repair process. REHABILITATION Monitor respiratory and cardiac  function, prevent secondary complication and disease progression, and initiate physical rehabilitation When a patient is in a serious...
