Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel bone to your toes. 

 

This inflammation usually causes stabbing pain near the heel, especially with the first steps in the morning or after long periods of rest. It's often caused by repetitive strain or excessive stress on the feet, such as from running, standing for long periods, or wearing improper footwear.

 

Treatment typically involves rest, stretching exercises, orthotic inserts, and sometimes physical therapy to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence.
