What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel to the toes. This condition typically develops from repetitive stress, overuse, or poor foot mechanics, leading to small tears and inflammation. It is a leading cause of heel pain, especially among runners and individuals who spend long hours on their feet.
Common Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
- Sharp, stabbing pain near the heel
- Pain that is worse in the morning or after long periods of rest
- Tenderness along the arch of the foot
- Swelling and redness near the heel
- Stiffness or tightness in the heel and arch
- Pain that worsens with prolonged standing or activity
