Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Do you experience sharp pain in your heel, especially during those first morning steps or after periods of rest? If yes, you may be dealing with plantar fasciitis, a common but, fortunately, highly treatable condition.
What Causes It?
The plantar fascia is a strong band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel to your toes. This structure helps maintain your foot’s natural arch and absorbs the impact of daily activities like walking or running. When this band experiences repeated stress, however, small tears can develop. Inflammation and pain can then result.
While the exact cause of plantar fasciitis isn’t known, several factors can increase your risk:
- Carrying extra body weight that puts additional stress on your feet
- Regular participation in high-impact activities like long-distance running
- Occupations that require extended periods of standing
- Being between 40 and 60 years of age, when tissue elasticity naturally decreases
