Exercise & Fitness

Increased phys­i­cal activ­i­ty and new exer­cise rou­tines often lead to overuse injuries, with heel pain being a com­mon issue among new run­ners and walk­ers. Dr. Kline, a board-cer­ti­fied podi­a­trist, dis­cuss­es the caus­es of plan­tar fasci­itis, the impor­tance of appro­pri­ate footwear and train­ing sched­ules, and offers treat­ment strate­gies includ­ing rest, sup­port, and stretch­ing. He empha­sizes the role of a podi­a­trist in diag­nos­ing and treat­ing heel pain to help indi­vid­u­als achieve their health goals with­out setbacks.
