First off, Tiago Splitter of the Spurs sprained his left ankle earlier this week in game 3 against the Lakers. Radiographs were reported as negative, but to me that doesn't mean much as a bad ankle sprain can be very painful and needs treated appropriately.
To a Chicago news station this week, Joakim Noah stated that "plantar fasciitis sucks." This is a very common condition I see, and I am sure many of my patients will relate. However, with the right treatment we can help most people significantly.
Chicago's first round opponent, the Nets, also apparently has a player suffering from plantar fasciitis as well. Joe Johnson received a "cortisone injection" for plantar fasciitis earlier this week and Johnson admitted that this was very helpful. When appropriate I can also give injections as part of my treatment.
As I often say you do not have to be an athlete to suffer from these conditions. Come see us at Spring Hill Podiatry with any foot or ankle problems.
