Understanding Plantar Fasciitis Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue running along the bottom of the foot, known as the plantar fascia, becomes inflamed or irritated. This condition often results in sharp heel pain, particularly in the morning or after prolonged periods of standing or walking. Common causes include: Overuse from running, walking, or standing for long periods Poor footwear that lacks adequate support Flat feet or high arches Tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon Obesity or sudden weight gain If left untreated, plantar fasciitis can lead to chronic pain, altered gait, and other musculoskeletal problems.
