Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
No doctor referral required
Plantar fasciitis is reported to be the most common cause of heel pain and accounts for approximately 1 million physician visits per year. Plantar Fasciitis is an extremely painful condition caused by inflammation and swelling of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that begins at the back of your heel and runs across the underside of your foot. It often is caused by overuse, poor foot mechanics, excessive body weight, sports or improper footwear. Taut achilles tendons, calf, hamstring, or weak foot muscles increase your risk for developing this condition.
Symptoms Of Plantar Fasciitis
People with plantar fasciitis often complain of pain along the arch of the foot and at the heel. The pain can be excruciating when first applying pressure to the foot in the morning or after sitting or standing for long periods of time.
