Plantar Fasciitis Surges Among 20s and 30s! ‘Running Culture’ Sounds Foot Health Alarm ๐♀️
๐ Summary
The recent surge in running enthusiasts has led to a sharp increase in plantar fasciitis cases among the 2030 generation. This is primarily due to factors like individuals with low baseline fitness suddenly engaging in strenuous exercise or wearing improper footwear. Consistent stretching and choosing the right running shoes are essential for prevention and management.
๐ Why It Matters! (Significance and Context)
Plantar fasciitis is a condition involving damage and inflammation of the plantar fascia, the tissue supporting the arch of the foot. It is characterized by severe pain when taking the first steps in the morning. With the recent rise in runningenthusiasts, cases among the 20s and 30s generation have surged by 53%. Among men in their 20s, cases have skyrocketed by 79%, signaling a red alert for foot health among this socially active young demographic. Running and other repetitive impact exercises place strain on the plantar fascia. If left untreated, it can become chronic, causing significant discomfort in daily life, requiring caution.
๐ฅ Key Takeaways
1️⃣ Background of the Surge in Plantar Fasciitis Patients Among the 20s and 30s Generation
- The increase in the running population is identified as the main cause.
 - According to data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, patients in the 20s and 30s age group increased by 53% in 2023 compared to 2014 (with a 79% increase for men in their 20s).
 - Running is a condition that places significant strain on the plantar fascia due to repetitive impact on the heel and forefoot.
 - It occurs more easily when someone who is not regularly active suddenly starts running.
 
2️⃣ Symptoms and Severity of Plantar Fasciitis
- This condition involves repeated damage to the plantar fascia, the tissue supporting the arch of the foot, causing pain and inflammation.
 - Pain typically occurs in the area connecting the heel to the front of the sole.
 - A characteristic feature is that pain worsens when taking the first steps after waking up in the morning or when standing up after sitting for a long time.
 - If left untreated, the condition can become chronic, causing significant discomfort in daily life.
 
3️⃣ Key Treatment and Prevention for Plantar Fasciitis
- Stretching is most important; the key is to make the stiffened fascia more flexible.
 - Pull your toes toward your body, keeping the inner side of the sole stretched, then massage from the heel toward the toes (for at least 20 seconds).
 - Rolling a golf ball or frozen can under the foot also helps.
 - Calf muscle stretching connected to the plantar fascia is also important (e.g., leaning against a wall with one hand, straightening one knee, and flexing the ankle).
 - Extracorporeal shock wave therapy or taking pain relievers and anti-inflammatories can be used as supplementary treatments.
 - Prevention requires thorough stretching of the plantar fascia and calf muscles before running.
 - Running shoes should avoid thin soles or easily bendable shoes; choose ones with cushioning and arch support.
 - Beginner runners should start on flat tracks instead of uphill or uneven paths, gradually increasing distance and intensity.
 
๐ In summary
Alongside the growing running culture, now a prominent health trend, there's a sharp increase in plantar fasciitis cases among the 20s and 30s generation. Plantar fasciitis is a condition where the fibrous band on the sole of the foot becomes inflamed, causing severe pain, especially with the first steps in the morning. The repetitive impact during running and sudden increases in exercise volume are major causes of this condition. For managing and preventing this condition, maintaining flexibility in the fascia through stretching is paramount. Preventing plantar fasciitis requires establishing a habit of thorough stretching before and after running, choosing running shoes with cushioning and arch support that reduce strain on the feet, and for beginners, gradually increasing exercise intensity.
