Plantar Fasciitis
Treatment
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, especially for adults who are on their feet all day. It occurs when the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that supports your foot arch, becomes inflamed or strained. This condition can cause sharp, stabbing pain, especially with your first steps in the morning or after long periods of rest.
What Are the Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis?​
Common symptoms include:
-
Heel pain, especially after rest or in the morning
-
Pain that improves with movement but returns after activity
-
A burning or aching sensation along the bottom of the foot
-
Tightness in the foot arch or calf muscles
If you're experiencing persistent heel pain, it could be plantar fasciitis. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing it from becoming a long-term issue.
