Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis is caused by overuse of the ligament at the bottom of the arch of the foot, causing pain in the arch and heel.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES & RISK FACTORS?

You are more likely to develop plantar fasciitis if you:

  • Are either overweight or obese. This is due to increased pressure on your plantar fascia ligaments, particularly if you gain weight quickly.
    you run long distances.
  • Have an active job that requires you to be on your feet frequently, such as working in a factory or as a restaurant server.
  • Have structural foot problems like high arches or flat feet,
    have tight Achilles tendons (the tendons that connect your calf muscles to your heels).
  • Shoes with soft soles and poor arch support are frequently worn.
