 Plantar Fasciitis Basics

Plantar fasciitis involves inflammation in a particular area of the foot. Thick tissue exists underneath your feet, connecting the heel bone to the toes. When this tissue becomes inflamed, significant pain can occur. Typically, the worst foot pain is experienced when patients first step out of bed in the morning and start to walk. Walking around can help alleviate the pain, whereas the pain may worsen after sitting or standing for an extended period and then walking again.

This type of pain can be chronic, preventing individuals from performing daily tasks with ease. Patients may adjust their walking patterns due to the pain, leading to subsequent back and knee pain. It is important to seek the assistance of a chiropractor to address this issue and promote overall well-being.

What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

While the specific causes of this condition are not fully understood, more information has been discovered in recent years. When stress or tension is applied to the plantar fascia, inflammation can occur. The plantar fascia serves as the tissue that supports your arch and absorbs shock as you walk. Many factors can lead to the inflammation of this tissue. Often, the condition is caused by small tears in the tissue, which continue to stretch and tear as you walk, causing further inflammation. Certain risk factors may make you more susceptible to this condition, including being aged between 40 and 60, participating in aerobic exercises or ballet, running regularly, being obese, or having high arches.
