Peroneal Tendonitis

Over use injury we see in the office

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common problems we see in the office.  A patient describes a sharp pain on the bottom of their heel upon stepping out of bed in the morning or after rest.  Others describe not being able to stand for longer than a couple of hours and then experiencing severe pain on the bottom of the heel.
