Well, Super Bowl XLVI (that's 46 to us common folk) is history. Congratulations to the New York Giants and to their quarterback Eli Manning. Looking back to 2009 it turns out that Mr. Manning was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis in his right foot at that time and had been dealing with the pain for a few years! The Giants medical team worked with him to get the condition under control . Looks like they were successful as Mr.Manning led the Giants to a Super Bowl Victory!

Plantar fasciitis is the term commonly used to refer to heel and arch pain traced to an inflammation on the bottom of the foot. More specifically, plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue, called plantar fascia, that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to the point at which it inserts into the heel bone. Overpronation is the most common cause of plantar fasciitis. As the foot rolls inward excessively when walking, it flattens the foot, lengthens the arch, and puts added tension on the plantar fascia. Over time, this causes inflammation.

Also known as heel spur syndrome, the condition is often successfully treated with conservative measures, such as the use of anti-inflammatory medications, ice packs, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and physical therapy.
