What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that affects the thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) running along the bottom of your foot from the heel to the toes. This tissue helps support your arch and absorb shock each time you stand, walk, or run.
When the plantar fascia is repeatedly strained or overloaded, tiny micro-tears can form in the tissue, leading to irritation and degeneration over time. Many people feel this as a sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, especially with their first steps in the morning or after sitting for a while.

Standing or walking for long periods on hard surfaces (work, retail, healthcare, warehousing).
High-impact activities such as running, jumping, or certain sports, especially with recent training increases.
Tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon, which increase tension on the plantar fascia.
Flat feet, high arches, or abnormal foot mechanics that change how force is distributed when you walk.
Inadequate footwear with poor arch support or worn-out cushioning.
Higher body weight, which increases the load on the plantar fascia.
Age, with plantar fasciitis being especially common in adults between 40 and 60.
Causes and Risk Factors
Plantar fasciitis is often an overuse injury caused by repetitive strain on the plantar fascia. Several factors increase your risk:
How We Diagnose Plantar Fasciitis
Review your symptoms, daily activities, job demands, and medical history.
Examine your foot and ankle, checking for specific areas of tenderness, arch height, and range of motion.
Watch how you stand and walk to evaluate your gait and overall alignment.
Consider imaging such as X-rays or other studies if needed to rule out conditions like heel spurs, stress fractures, or arthritis.
