“Plantar fasciitis” is often treated like just a fascia problem. And often, it tends to come right back.
What we commonly see is that the nerves in the foot are involved — especially where the tibial nerve passes through the tarsal tunnel on the inside of the ankle before branching into the bottom of the foot.
When that nerve becomes restricted, it can create pain through the heel, arch, or bottom of the foot that looks and feels a lot like plantar fasciitis.
That’s why things like boots, cortisone shots, stretching, or rolling the bottom of the foot don’t always create lasting relief.
If the nerve is the real issue, the goal has to be restoring proper nerve glide — not just calming down the fascia.
