Plantar fasciitis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes. Here are the key points:
Repetitive stretching and tearing of the plantar fascia due to excessive stress on the feet.
Certain foot structures predispose individuals to developing plantar fasciitis.
Long-distance runners, overweight individuals, and those who work on their feet are at risk.
Most noticeable in the morning or after prolonged rest.
Pain eases as you walk but worsens after exercise.
Untreated plantar fasciitis can lead to chronic heel pain and affect hip, knee, and back function.
Dr. Bharat Jain locates pain and assesses plantar fascia health.
MRI or X-ray may rule out other foot conditions.
Apply ice to the painful area.
Strengthen lower leg muscles.
Ibuprofen or naproxen for pain relief.
