Almost half of Plantar Fasciitis sufferers (45.6%) will continue to report symptoms ten years after onset. (1) These patients are not suffering from chronic inflammation (Plantar Fasciitis), instead, they have weakened and degenerated tissue (Plantar Fasciosis).

Instability is synonymous with diagnoses like spondylolisthesis. However, a new study found that instability was also present in more than half (57%) of all discogenic LBP cases.You won’t want to miss this week’s blog for a from-the-trenches synopsis (and quick video tutorial) of the best-practice assessment and management of spinal instability.
