Heel spurs or plantar fasciitis affect both men and women equally.
Plantar Fasciitis is a condition in which the bottom of your foot's heel
becomes extremely painful. A heel spur is a bony overgrowth on the
bottom of your heel bone. Heel spurs usually result from the inflamed
ligament (plantar fascia) on the bottom of the foot that attaches to
your heel bone. This abnormal pulling on the ligament irritates the
heel bone and your body responds by laying down a bone spur as a
protective mechanism. You often feel pain with the first morning steps
the most with some relief following activity. Extended durations of
standing or walking can cause increased irritation.Plantar Fasciitis can result from many things including; being
overweight, wearing ill-fitting shoes, bio-mechanical problems
(mal-alignment of the heel), gout, and pronation (a complex outward
motion or rotation of the heel and inward rotation of the ankle).
