Plantar Fasciitis Recovery
Inflammation of the thick band of tissue supporting the arch of the foot, causing severe heel pain.
Condition Overview
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that runs across the bottom of each foot and connects the heel bone to the toes.
Why It Happens
Under normal circumstances, your plantar fascia acts like a shock-absorbing bowstring, supporting the arch of your foot. If tension and stress on that bowstring become too great, small tears can occur. Repeated stretching and tearing cause the fascia to become irritated or inflamed.
Common Symptoms
- Stabbing pain near the heel on the bottom of the foot
- Pain that is worst with the first steps of the day or after resting
- Pain that increases after exercise, rather than during it
- Tightness in the Achilles tendon and calf muscles
Root Causes
- Repetitive strain from running, jumping, or long standing
- Biomechanical issues like flat feet or high arches
- Sudden increase in physical activity levels
- Wearing shoes with thin soles or poor arch support
