Plantar Fasciitis
What is it?
Plantar Fasciitis is a very common condition resulting in pain under the heel which often radiates into the foot.
The pain is usually worse in the morning and when getting up after sitting.
If the tension is present for a long period of time, the heel bone can grow into the fascia causing a spur to form.
It is no the spur that hurts you, but tearing and tension on the fascia where the spur has formed.
Heel pain can also be caused by:
- Arthritis
- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
- Stress Fracture
