Plantar Fasciitis Explained

Go ahead and feel the arch of your foot. What you’re touching is a strong band of tissue called the plantar fascia, which runs from the front of your foot to your heel. This structure plays a key role in both stability and movement, helping your foot absorb impact during activities like walking, running, and climbing stairs.

When this tissue becomes irritated or inflamed, it can lead to a range of uncomfortable symptoms. This condition is known as plantar fasciitis, one of the most common causes of foot pain.

Symptoms & Causes of Plantar Fasciitis

The classic symptoms of plantar fasciitis include:
