The inflammation of the heel, or plantar fasciitis, can affects anyone, including President Barack Obama. Obama has been struggling experiencing symptoms said consistent with “regular recurring plantar fasciitis,” according to Obama’s primary physician, Dr. Ronny L. Jackson.
Over-straining or over-irritating the ligament that connects the heel to the toe is said to be a common trigger for the condition. Fortunately, our president still manages to stay in good health despite the pain. “The president continues to focus on healthy lifestyle choices,” Dr. Jackson said. “He eats a healthy diet, exercises daily, remains tobacco free, and only drinks alcohol occasionally and in moderation.”
Plantar fasciitis is a condition that can be treated through various methods. For more information regarding plantar fasciitis, contact podiatrist Dr. Jeffrey Conforti of New Jersey. Dr. Conforti will attend to any of your foot and ankle needs.
