Peter Wilson, D. Pod. M., discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Heel Pain.

 Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. More specifically, plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue, called plantar fascia that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Overpronation is the most common cause of plantar fasciitis. As the foot rolls inward excessively when walking, it flattens the foot, lengthens the arch, and puts added tension on the plantar fascia. Over time, this causes inflammation.

Chiropodist in East Markham, Unionville and Stouffville, ON - Brian Cragg, Markham Foot Care Clinic

Meet Brian Cragg, DCh, BSc (Hons) Podiatric Medicine, as he discusses practicing foot care.

http://www.markhamfootcare.com

I enjoy treating patients of all ages including children, active adults and the elderly. Healthy feet are important to help maintain an active lifestyle. My goal is to treat people gently and quickly so they can get back to their active lives pain free as soon as possible.

I enjoy the practice of podiatric medicine and always do my best for my patients. That's why I feel it's so important to be able to meet the requirements for membership in outstanding professional organizations. Membership also provides an opportunity for me to share experiences with colleagues and hopefully better our profession.
