Today we’re going to talk about one of the biggest mistakes people make when they have plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. I’m also going to show you an effective plantar fasciitis stretch that may help with this condition.

What is plantar fasciitis?

The plantar fascia is a connective tissue sheath right underneath the foot. A lot of times, it can become inflamed, and you’ll feel pain mainly in the heel area, but sometimes in the middle of the foot. You could have micro-trauma going on, or you could also have a build-up of uric acid crystals. You could even have oxalate crystals that are depositing in your foot from certain things that you’re eating.

Some people think that heel spurs are what’s causing their foot pain. But, this is not what’s actually causing the heel pain. There are a lot of people with spurs who don’t have pain, and people with pain that don’t have heel spurs. 

One of the biggest mistakes people make with plantar fasciitis is stretching the calf or foot. Stretching this soft tissue when you have micro-tearing can aggravate the tears. The last thing you want to do is stretch something that is torn or irritated. 

Oxalates come from certain foods. They can form kidney stones and can deposit in your joints, causing foot pain. 
Avoid these high oxalate foods:

• Spinach 
• Almonds 
• Parsley 
• Chocolate 
• Peanuts 
• Kiwi 

You could also try consuming cheese or calcium with the above foods because the calcium will bind with the oxalates and block some of the absorption. 

Uric acid can act as an antioxidant when you do fasting. But, it can also lead to gout and arthritis. Something simple you can do is to alkalize the body by consuming more vegetables or by taking potassium citrate. 

A few more things you can do:
• Consume lemon or lemon juice (helps counter uric acid and oxalates) 
• Take vitamin D ( a really good anti-inflammatory)
• Take stinging nettle root (a great anti-inflammatory)
• ***Definitely try my plantar fasciitis stretch
