What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel to your toes. This inflammation often results in stabbing pain, particularly in the heel, which is usually worse in the morning or after prolonged periods of inactivity.
Common causes of plantar fasciitis include:
- Overuse or Strain: Repeated stress from activities like running or prolonged standing.
- Poor Footwear: Lack of proper support can strain the plantar fascia.
- Foot Structure: Flat feet, high arches, or abnormal walking patterns can contribute to the condition.
- Tight Muscles: Calf or Achilles tightness can add stress to the plantar fascia.
At Healthy Back Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to diagnose and treat plantar fasciitis, ensuring long-lasting relief and improved mobility.
