What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick band of tissue (also called a fascia) at the bottom of

your foot that runs from your heel to your toes.

Doctors once thought bony growths called heel spurs brought on the pain. Now they believe

that heel spurs are the result -- not the cause -- of plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis causes pain in your heel. It’s usually worse when you take your first steps in the

morning or after you’ve been sitting for a long time. It tends to feel better with activity but worsens

again after you spend a long time on your feet.

Your fascia supports the muscles and arch of your foot. When it’s overly stretched, you can get tiny

tears in its surface. This can bring on pain and inflammation.

You’re at greater risk of plantar fasciitis if you:

Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and check your feet to see where you’re having pain.

They sometimes want you to have imaging tests to make sure something else isn’t causing your problem.

These tests include:

Your treatments may include:

Icing the area.
Night splints. You wear these to stretch your calf and foot while you sleep.
Physical therapy. Certain exercises can stretch your fascia and Achilles tendon and strengthen
your leg muscles, which will make your ankle and heel more stable.
Rest. Stop doing things that make the pain worse. This might include some types of exercise,
like running or jumping.
Supportive shoes or inserts. Shoes with thick soles and extra cushioning will make it less painful
for you to stand or walk. Arch supports can distribute pressure more evenly across your feet.
Taking pain-relieving non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or
naproxen sodium. You shouldn’t take these for more than a month, so talk with your doctor.
