If I come across some athletes with foot injuries I will tend to blog about them with their injuries and treatments and monitor their progress. Sometimes, their injuries are not always listed. A few weeks ago, I blogged about Carlos Quentin and his heel pain condition, plantar fasciitis.
Carlos Quentin is a baseball player for the Chicago White Sox. He plays the outfield position. His lat game played before going on the disabled list was May 25th, 2009. he did not return until July 20th, 2009. He underwent the ESWT treatment that we have discussed earlier in the blog.
Currently, he is doing very well since his treatment. He is batting .357 just in the month of August. That is up from just .190 in July with only 42 At bats. He also has had 3 HR's since his return. He still has a way to go to be where he was, but its good to know that he has not yet been limited by the plantar fasciitis.
Even after having the treatment he was still developing soreness in his heel. This is common from ESWT with everyone being different. Sometimes people do not get soreness, and some people may develop it from days, to weeks, to months. I will conitue to monitor his progress along with other athletes that we have talked about in the past.
