Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, often resulting from inflammation or irritation of the plantar fascia—the thick band of tissue running across the bottom of your foot that connects your heel to your toes. It’s especially common among those who stand, walk, or run for long periods, and can also affect people with tight calf muscles, weak foot or ankle stability, or poor footwear.
While stretching is frequently suggested for plantar fasciitis, research shows that building strength in the feet and ankles is often more effective for lasting relief and preventing future pain.
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, a comprehensive assessment can help pinpoint the cause and guide you to effective treatment options.
