Millions of active adults suffer from sharp, shooting pain in their heels. The pain typically begins without warning, with the first few steps you take in the morning. The next thing you know, you're just not as active as you used to be. You look online and self-diagnose, or go to your doctor and are told you have plantar fasciitis. Common recommendations are to ice your heel, get a steroid shot, take pain pills or anti-inflammatory pills, and buy some arch supports. Most doctors will tell you that it can take a year or longer for the pain to go away! During that time, you become much less active. You will probably gain weight, and your quality of life will clearly suffer. The Myth of Plantar Fasciitis exposes the misinformation rampant in the medical field regarding this painful, chronic, and very common condition. More importantly, it offers a solution--EOTTS--that addresses the underlying cause so you can get rid of your heel pain forever. Dr. Michael E.
