What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel and arch pain. It occurs when the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that connects your heel to your toes—becomes inflamed or overstretched. This condition can cause sharp, stabbing pain, especially with the first steps in the morning or after long periods of standing or walking.
It can affect athletes, workers who stand for long hours, and even those with flat feet or improper footwear.

Common Causes of Plantar Fasciitis
1. Overuse or repetitive strain
Common in runners, athletes, or individuals who stand for long hours.
2. Flat feet or high arches
Alter foot mechanics and increase tension on the plantar fascia.
3. Tight calf or Achilles tendon
Limits ankle motion and increases strain on the fascia.
4. Improper footwear
Lack of arch support or cushioning can trigger inflammation.
5. Obesity
Excess weight adds pressure on the foot with each step.
6. Poor foot biomechanics
Walking pattern (gait), overpronation, or unequal weight distribution.
Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
Sharp pain in the heel or arch, especially in the morning
Pain after prolonged standing or sitting
Discomfort that increases with activity, not during rest
Tightness in the calf or Achilles tendon
Tenderness at the bottom of the heel.
