What You Need to Know
About Heel Pain
(StatePoint) Very common in adults and on the rise in children,
heel pain continues to be the number one reason patients seek
care from foot and ankle surgeons. While experts say there are
many reasons for heel pain, including bursitis, Achilles tendon
itis, bone bruises, fractures, growth spurts and nerve pain, the
most common cause is plantar fasciitis, a condition that one in
10 people will suffer from in their lifetime.
According to the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons
(ACFAS), plantar fasciitis can have serious repercussions if left
untreated. Flere’s what to know:
WHAT IS PLANTAR FASCIITIS?
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the band of tissue (the
plantar fascia) that extends from the heel to the toes in which the
fascia becomes irritated and then inflamed. Symptoms include
pain on the bottom of the heel, pain in the arch of the foot, and
swelling on the bottom of the heel. For many, the pain is worse
upon arising and increases over a period of months.
A telltale sign of mechanical issues in the foot, those with
overly flat feet or high-arched feet are more prone to developing
plantar fasciitis. Lifestyle factors can also play a role. Wearing
non-supportive footwear on hard, flat surfaces puts abnormal
strain on the plantar fascia. This is particularly evident when
one’s job requires long hours on the feet. Obesity and overuse
may also contribute to plantar fasciitis.
HOW IS IT TREATED?
“We typically treat plantar fasciitis conservatively, at first,”
said Michael J. Cornelison, DPM, FACFAS, a foot and ankle
surgeon and president of the American College of Foot and Ankle
Surgeons. “This can include a combination of remedies, includ
ing rest, exercises that stretch the calf muscles, orthotics, icing
the heel, over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen, supportive
footwear and physical therapy.”
Most patients respond well to conservative treatments. How-
ever, depending on the severity of the plantar fasciitis, additional
therapies may be required, including:
• Injection Therapy: Growth factor injections and platelet rich
plasma injections are used to boost the body’s healing response
and help repair injured tissue.
• Shockwave Therapy: This in-office treatment uses sound
waves delivered over the skin to slightly damage the tissue and
stimulate the body’s natural repair process. This helps the plantar
fasciitis heal and relieves pain symptoms without making an
incision. Patients can expect to be up and moving immediately
after treatment, but it may take three to six months to see results.
• Ultrasonic Treatment: In this newer procedure, a small inci
sion is made into the heel of the foot and a probe directs ultrasonic
energy at the fascia to break down bad tissue and help the healing
process. A diagnostic ultrasound tool is used to create an image
of the inside of the foot and guide the probe. Patients may need
to wear a boot immediately after the procedure for up to two
weeks and they can expect to see improvements anywhere from
three to six months after the procedure.
• Surgery: Also called a plantar fasciotomy, this minimally
invasive, minimally traumatic surgical treatment involves mak
ing a small incision through the heel into the damaged tendon
to try to lengthen it and relieve tension. Patients tend to recover
in six to 10 weeks, but it may take up to three months to resume
exercise and more vigorous activities.
No matter what kind of treatment a patient undergoes, the un
derlying causes that led to the condition may remain. Preventive
measures, such as wearing supportive shoes, stretching and using
custom orthotic devices, are the mainstay of long-term treatment
for plantar fasciitis.

Grant
Waldrop explained that his
office has relied on the BCSO’s
explanation of which expenses
applied to which grants and
how much of each grant re
mained.
“We cannot verify that this
is correct as funds were com
mingled and not tracked by any
type of accounting process,”
Waldrop said. “...Since funds
from the sale of County assets
were sold without approval
and placed in the Sheriff bank
account, this number cannot
be verified as accurate.... The
commingling of these funds
without proper tracking or
account numbers assigned to
each expense make it impos
sible for our staff to verify the
expenses or amounts remain
ing.”
In August of last year, Wil
liams threatened to sue the
county if they did not meet
a list of demands. That list
included 50 acres of land and
$400,000 for the immediate
construction of an outdoor
bring range and training com
plex.
The commission took no
action at that time but have
since budgeted funds to begin
that project.
Elaine Bates Williams, 98, entered into rest Sunday, August
14, 2022. She was bom in Emanuel County on October 21,
1923, to the late Maggie and ,
Ferdinand Bates. She graduated
from Andrew College as well
as Georgia College in Milled-
geville.
She worked as a secretary
for the VA Hospital in Augusta
and met her husband during
this time. After 32 years, Elaine
retired from teaching in 1985.
Since 1951, she has been a faith
ful member of the First United
Methodist Church, where she
served as choir director, pianist,
organist, and Sunday School teacher. She was a Pink Lady at
the hospital for many years, a member of Mrs. Byne’s China
Painting Class, an avid reader, and loved to do crossword
puzzles. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death
by her husband, Emory Joseph Williams; and her brother,
William Murray Bates.
