In The Plantar Fasciitis Plan, Dr. Dombroski identifies and explains causes, symptoms, and risk factors for plantar fasciitis; teaches PF sufferers and doctors home-healing techniques; and delves into treatments for cases of PF that are harder to cure. Along the way, he'll provide tips for staying active, advice on spending the least to get the best results, and pointers on making the most of any treatment. Plantar fasciitis can be a painful, distressing, and debilitating problem-but thanks to Dr. Dombroski, it doesn't have to be a permanent one.

Download or read book Progress in Heritable Soft Connective Tissue Diseases written by Jaroslava Halper and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-18 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a reference handbook focusing on diseases like Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome and other heritable soft connective tissue diseases. The book presents detailed information for both basic scientists and for clinicians seeing patients. It is also a stepping stone for new investigations and studies that goes beyond the facts about the composition and biochemistry of the connective tissue and extracellular matrix, as the authors connect individual components to specific aspects of various soft tissue disorders and to the actual or potential treatment of them. Progress in Heritable Soft Connective Tissue Diseases features very prominent physicians and scientists as contributors who bring their most recent discoveries to the benefit of readers. Their expertise will help clinicians with proper diagnosis of sometimes elusive and uncommon heritable diseases of soft connective tissues. This book also offers an update on the pathophysiology of these diseases, including an emphasis on unifying aspects such as connections between embryonic development of the different types of connective tissues and systems, and the role of TGF-beta in development and physiology of soft tissues. This new set of data explains, at least in part, why many of these disorders are interconnected, though the primary pathophysiological events, such as gene mutations, may be different for each disorder.
