Plantar fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain that happens when the thick band of tissue along the bottom of the foot becomes irritated and overloaded. It is often most painful during the first few steps in the morning or after sitting for a long period. The condition can affect walking, exercise, and long hours of standing if it is not managed early.
