Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes pain in the heel and bottom of the foot. It is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, the band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot from the heel to the toes. The pain is usually worst in the morning or after sitting for long periods of time, and can make it difficult to walk or stand for long periods.
Podiatrist may also recommend changes in footwear or activities to help reduce stress on the plantar fascia. They may also recommend weight loss if the patient is overweight or obese.
It is important to see a podiatrist for proper diagnosis and treatment plan to manage Plantar Fasciitis, as self-treatment can worsen the condition or lead to other complications. With the right treatment, most people with plantar fasciitis can experience pain relief and regain their ability to engage in normal activities.
