Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. This condition can cause intense heel pain, especially with the first steps in the morning or after prolonged periods of rest.

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis typically develops due to repetitive stress or overuse of the plantar fascia, resulting in microtears and inflammation. Factors such as flat feet, high arches, improper footwear, obesity, and certain physical activities can increase the risk of developing plantar fasciitis. Common symptoms include heel pain, especially in the morning or after periods of rest, which may improve with activity but worsen with prolonged standing or walking.
