This occurs because when you sit or sleep the foot is in a relaxed position and the foot is effectively pointed in a downward position. This relaxes and takes tension off the Plantar Fascial ligament, the muscle group in the back of you leg and the Achilles tendon. The ligament and the tendon get used to the relaxed position. When you stand and put weight on your feet the ligament and the tendon are put under sudden stretch and there is sudden pressure on the heel. This is when you may feel severe sharp piercing pain. Medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints) and tibial stress fractures are both due to biomechanical and structural conditions of the foot. These include outward tilting of the heel, rolling down and in of the arch (overpronation) among other structural deformities. Both conditions typically occur in athletes participating in high impact sports such as running, basketball and tennis. Shin splints are usually painful along the inside border of the shin (tibia) close to the ankle, while stress fractures are usually tender at a specific spot on the shin. in shoes must be able to stand up to that dull pressure. In addition to the whole weight of our body, heel padsheel pain causes The posterior tibial nerve is responsible for a large area of sensory innervation, and patients often experience difficulty in pinpointing their discomfort to a specific location in the heel. Unlike patients with heel pain from plantar fasciitis, those with tarsal tunnel syndrome typically describe their pain as being most intense on standing and walking after long periods of rest. They usually do not experience pinpoint tenderness at the origin of the medial band of the plantar fascia.

This can be accomplished by a very small incision on the inside of the heel. A new treatment modality is now available. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy uses a machine similar to the one used for kidney and gallstones. This machine is indicate only for chronic proximal plantar fascitis.

If there is a large gap in the water mark where your arch would be, you have a medium or high arch. If you possess a flat foot, the water spot may illustrate where your arch is touching the ground. The study, carried out by researchers from the Arthritis Research UK Biomechanics and Bioengineering Centre based in the University’s School of Healthcare Studies, shows how backwards running generally exerts less pressure on the knee joint.
