What is plantar fasciitis?

Are you experiencing heel pain? If so, it may be plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is a thick, flat band of tissue (ligament) that runs from your heel to your toes across the bottom of your foot. “Plantar fasciitis” means inflammation of the fascia. When the plantar fascia is strained, it can swell, the ligament weakens, and you may experience sharp, stabbing pain.

Plantar fasciitis is the most common reason for heel soreness. It can occur due to:

• Running
• Rolling the foot/ankle inward when walking (overpronation)
• Standing for long periods
• Fallen arches
• Flat footedness

Those who are pregnant or overweight may experience plantar fasciitis. Continuously wearing ill-fitting or non-supportive shoes can also cause and contribute to the issue.

Help for Plantar Fasciitis

Depending on the severity of the discomfort, there are several options to help relieve plantar fasciitis pain and inflammation, and strengthen the plantar fascia ligament. Wearing the right kind of orthotic insert, especially before any pain begins, can help keep feet healthy.
