Plantar Fasciitis — Heel Pain Explained

🦶Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It occurs when the plantar fascia — the thick band of tissue along the bottom of the foot — becomes strained and inflamed from overuse, poor support, or tight calf muscles.

Pain is often worse with the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest.

Common Causes:
- Prolonged standing or walking
- Unsupportive footwear
- Tight calf muscles
- Running or repetitive activity
- Flat feet or poor foot mechanics
- Prevention & Treatment

Supportive shoes, stretching, rest, and custom orthotics can help reduce strain, we also have temporary shoe inserts that help relieve pain, and support healing.

💡Key Message:

Early treatment can help prevent plantar fasciitis from becoming a long-term source of heel pain.
