Florida Foot and Ankle Specialists Helps Patients Navigate Plantar Fasciitis Symptoms Exacerbated by Summer Activities

BRADENTON, Fla. - Aug. 16, 2023 - PRLog -- As the summer heat intensifies, Dr. Jason Spector, a renowned foot and ankle specialist, brings relief to residents suffering from this painful condition known as Plantar Fasciitis. Known for comprehensive and specialized treatment strategy, Dr. Spector's approach comprises a balanced combination of physical therapy exercises, orthotics, and medications treatment.

Plantar Fasciitis, a common condition among adults, involves inflammation of the tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, often due to overuse or injury. This ailment causes heel pain, that often stems from inflammation in the thick band of tissue known as the fascia, located beneath the foot. This painful condition typically arises due to prolonged micro stress and strain, leading to small tears in the fascia and triggering a repetitive cycle of inflammation. Those affected by this condition experienced sharp, burning, or stabbing sensations, particularly during the initial steps upon getting up after a period of rest. More often than not, these symptoms are exacerbated by summertime activities such as walking or running on hard surfaces.

In order to assuage Plantar Fasciitis symptoms during the hot months of summer, Dr. Spector recommends a few simple strategies:

• Selecting shoes with good arch support.
• Avoiding barefoot activities.
• Regular stretching before and after physical activities.
• Applying ice packs post-exercise or after long periods of standing or walking
• Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication.

In chronic or severe cases that do not respond well to these interventions, Dr. Spector is highly experienced in performing minimally invasive procedures. He encourages patients suffering from persistent symptoms to schedule an appointment for further evaluation and treatment options.
