What is a Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

It is a common cause of heel pain caused by repetitive strain and microtears in the plantar fascia. 

When you are sleeping, the plantar fascia tightens. When you take your first steps in the morning, the tissue suddenly stretches. It causes sharp heel pain.

Mild cases improve with rest and proper footwear. However, without stretching and supportive care, symptoms can become severe.
