Plantar Fasciitis Capitola

Plantar Fasciitis

Are your first steps in the morning painful? Is it usually stabbing pain that involves inflammation on the tissues at the bottom of each foot from the toes to the heel bone? It may be painful in the beginning, but it gets better slowly. However, it may return after you have been standing for too long or sitting and standing up immediately. When inflamed, the band of tissue (plantar fascia) is called plantar fasciitis and is caused when you put too much stress on your feet or overuse it. Plantar fascia protects your foot's muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Not only this, but it also helps your foot function properly with every step of yours. We understand that pain in any form is disrupting and making it difficult for you to continue with work or personal projects.

What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar Fasciitis may happen due to plantar fascia (a band of tissue at the bottom of each foot from the toes to the heel bone) being overstretched or overused by the ligament. Although, a small tear in the fascia tissue can also cause pain. However, it also depends on the foot structure, which can further develop plantar fasciitis.

The condition can happen to anyone like:

• A runner
• Someone with active nature of work
• An obese person
• Someone with structural foot issues
• Someone with tight Achilles Tendons
• Someone who always wears soft soul shoes with poor arch support
