Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition characterized by pain in the heel and bottom of the foot, often worsening with first steps in the morning or after long periods of sitting. The primary cause is inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue connecting the heel to the toes. Factors such as excessive running, obesity, and wearing unsupportive footwear can contribute to its development. Symptoms typically include sharp pain that may subside with activity but can return after rest. Relief methods include stretching exercises and orthotic inserts, to reduce inflammation. It is also beneficial to rest and avoid activities that can worsen the pain. Plantar fasciitis can cause severe pain and discomfort and may cause difficulty in completing daily activities. If you have this condition, it is suggested that you consult a podiatrist who can effectively treat this problem.
