Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of connective tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot from the heel bone to the toes. This tissue supports the arch of the foot and helps absorb shock during walking and running. When the plantar fascia is overstressed or damaged, it can become irritated and painful, especially near the heel.

Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

People with plantar fasciitis commonly experience:

• Sharp or stabbing pain in the heel, especially near the inner side

• Pain that is worst with the first steps in the morning or after long periods of rest

• Heel pain after prolonged standing, walking, or exercise

• Tenderness along the bottom of the foot

• Pain that decreases with movement but may return after activity

Causes of Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis develops due to repeated strain on the plantar fascia. Common causes include:

• Overuse or excessive physical activity, such as running or prolonged standing

• Improper footwear, especially shoes with poor arch support or cushioning

• Flat feet or high arches, which alter weight distribution in the foot

• Tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon, increasing stress on the heel

• Sudden increase in activity level or changes in exercise routine

• Obesity or weight gain, adding extra pressure on the feet

• Occupations requiring long hours of standing or walking

Effects of Plantar Fasciitis

If not properly managed, plantar fasciitis can lead to:

• Chronic heel pain that interferes with daily activities

• Difficulty walking, running, or standing for long periods

• Altered walking patterns (limping), which may cause pain in the knees, hips, or back

• Reduced physical activity, potentially affecting overall health and fitness

• Lower quality of life due to persistent discomfort

How Can Plantar Fasciitis Be Treated?

If the symptoms are mild, simple methods such as ice therapy or foot soaking can usually help relieve discomfort temporarily. However, if the condition is more severe, Shockwave Therapy may be required to effectively address the root cause.
