Plantar Fasciitis can effect your ability to run. The pain with each step can make running extremely painful. There are many treatments for plantar fasciitis from changing your shoe gear, orthotics, night splints, or cortisone shots. The best treatment is to see a Podiatrist (I am not just saying that because I am one, all right I am). But one treatment that you can use while still playing your sport, is to wear socks specifically designed for the runner with plantar fasciitis. These socks are called Zamst Plantar Fasciitis Support Crew Socks. These socks feature a unique knitting technology that stabilizes the heel in neutral position, while supporting the arch as well and prevents it from moving inward. This will minimize the stress and repetitive trauma that the plantar fascia undergoes and reduces the symptomatology of Plantar Fasciitis. As a runner one of the things you want to accomplish when you have plantar fasciitis is to reduce the amount of trauma that your plantar fascia feels during a run, as plantar fasciitis is aggravated by repeated trauma to the plantar fascia. I highly recommend these socks if you are a runner with Plantar Fasciitis.
