Thanks to my medical research training and extensive body movement work, I determined the actual site of the cause of my horrible heel pain. It was located in my hips. Yes! Life is stranger than fiction, so don't get one of those dangerous heel injections, for heaven's sake.
Read on, instead.

Heel pain treatment, for the condition incorrectly named planter fasciitis, more correctly referred nociceptive heel pain, requires you look beyond the perceived site of your pain, to seek the underlying physical and/or emotional tension.
The problem does not lie in your heels, even though the excruciating pain is perceived there.
Detective work will take you to the source, most likely in your hips.
Podiatrists said my work was "based on bullshit," that it is "the worst kind of garbage." Their problem lies in the fact that I'm a trained pathologist, with years of experience studying mechanisms of disease.
I made this crude video ages ago, with a Blackberry, old technology, but the message is clear. Your hips and your heels are intimately connected.
"I am very grateful to have found this book. I love the approach, which is to listen to your body and "think like a detective."
Worked for me!

Correct name? Nociceptive Heel Pain - Dr. Kevin Thomas Morgan, BVSc, PhD, DipACVP, FRCPath
I wrote it in the third person, for fun, that's all.
Yours truly, age 12, with a drawing of his first microscope.
My experience with the acute heel pain physicians and podiatrists incorrectly call plantar fasciitis, reminds me of the brilliant work of Ignaz Semmelweis, and his fight against puerperal fever. This condition was killing thousands of women and babies.
He found the solution, told the other physicians. So! What did they do? They fired him, and he died a broken man.
I'm no Ignaz Semmelweis, but I'm as sure everyone has that heel pain diagnosis wrong.
It's all laid out in my little book, "The True Story of Plantar Fasciitis."
