Plantar Fasciitis Symptoms
Plantar fasciitis is a condition where the fascia, or tissue stretched from the toes to the heel of the foot, becomes inflamed by becoming overstretched. Pain may result in the bottom of the foot or at the heel bone. Pain tends to worsen over time, especially in the morning. The result of the inflammation is small tears that occur on the heel membrane, causing bone growths (heel spurs), causing pain and inflammation of the affected area. Both men and women suffer from plantar fasciitis.
Contributing factors that may result in plantar fasciitis are:
- Obesity or Overweight
- Standing for long periods of time daily
- High arch or flat feet
- Condition of Achilles tendon
- Intense exercises
- Certain types of shoes (high heel)
- Other possible contributing conditions of legs
