What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick tissue band connecting your heel to your toes, becomes inflamed due to strain or tiny tears. Common causes include:

  • Excessive Activity: Running, walking, or standing for long hours.
  • Improper Footwear: Shoes without arch support or cushioning.
  • Abnormal Foot Mechanics: Flat feet, high arches, or poor gait alignment.

If left untreated, the pain can worsen over time, significantly affecting your daily activities.
