Understanding Plantar Fasciitis Diagnosis
Plantar fasciitis is primarily diagnosed through patient history and physical examination, aided by bedside ultrasonography when necessary. While radiographs and MRIs are generally unnecessary unless other conditions are suspected, physical assessments remain crucial in identifying the injury. Key risk factors include biomechanical issues such as overpronation, tight calf muscles, and obesity, which can increase the strain on the plantar fascia. It's important to understand that obesity alone may not lead to plantar fasciitis without an abrupt change in activity or footwear that exacerbates the condition.
