Episode Description

Plantar fasciitis can take months to resolve. If you’ve ever had it (and 1 in 10 of us will at some point), you know it’s an ordeal. Sarah tackles plantar fasciitis, bunions and bone spurs with Dr. Corey Thompson, an orthopaedic surgeon at WakeMed who specializes in feet and ankles. 

Sarah and Dr. Thompson will also assess several types of women’s shoes for stability, comfort and how much strain they put on our feet.

Is THIS normal?  Is THAT a problem I should see a doctor about?  

What can I do RIGHT NOW to keep fill in the blank from happening in the future?

And she’s not afraid to ask anything!
