Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes pain in the heel and bottom of the foot. It occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot and connects the heel bone to the toes, becomes inflamed or irritated. This inflammation can result from overuse, injury, or other factors, making it a frequent concern for athletes, active individuals, and those who spend long periods on their feet.

Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

Heel Pain: A sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, especially with the first steps in the morning or after prolonged periods of sitting or standing.

Arch Pain: Discomfort or aching in the arch of the foot.

Increased Pain with Activity: The pain often worsens after exercise or prolonged activity but may improve during warm-up or rest.

Stiffness: Stiffness in the foot, especially in the morning or after sitting for a long time.
