Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue connecting your heel to your toes—becomes inflamed. This condition is commonly caused by:

• Overuse or repetitive strain: Activities like running, walking long distances, or standing for extended periods can strain the plantar fascia.
• Improper footwear: Shoes with inadequate arch support or cushioning can contribute to the condition.
• Flat feet or high arches: Abnormal foot mechanics may increase stress on the plantar fascia.
• Tight calf muscles: Limited flexibility in the calf muscles can put added tension on the plantar fascia.
• Sudden weight gain: Increased body weight adds pressure on the heel and arch of the foot.

Identifying the root cause of your plantar fasciitis is crucial to choosing the right treatment approach.
