Heel pain can be treated with many natural remedies. Herbs such as ginger root and enzymes such as bromelain can help resolve inflammation and pain quickly. There are also no side effects. Using natural solutions to treat your heel pain and plantar fasciitis makes it possible to recover with no bad side effects or the long term damage that occurs with medications for inflammation. Plantar fasciitis if often caused by collapsed arches and shoes with no arch support. Once the arches collapse, you will need to provide support to help them recover. Plantar fasciitis is diagnosed by the symptom of worse pain in the morning. The reason the pain is worse in the morning is that the plantar fascia is relaxed overnight when the foot is elevated. When you get up in the morning, you stretch the tissue back out. If the fascia, or connective tissue is inflamed, it is very painful to stand on. As the day goes on, your heel hurts less, because the fascia is fully stretched.
