Fig 2.
Excessive cronic pressure
on arch (1), often provocated
by obesity or efforts and too much intensive activities; It
determines a flattening of the arch
(2) and an increase of tension on the plantar
fasciitis
(1), accompanied by inflammation on its posterior
insertion.

Fig 3.
A reactive new bony
“spine” appears. It is not the “spine” itself which provokes
ache but instead the inflammation of the insertion of plantar
fasciitis.From the clinic point of view there is increasing pain
under calcaneum generally in medial side. It is acute at
awakening; it reduces with normal activities and it increases
after a working day (the foot has been bearing the whole body
weight). Often ache appears associated with intense effort. It’s
possible to highlight pain through palpation of spine.

The use of CAD/CAM insole
can treat this disorder. Weight loss and adequate insoles are fundamental.
