Plantar Fasciitis & Arch Pain

One of the most common causes of arch and heel pain is plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the thick band of tissue (fascia) that connects the heel to the toes.

Plantar fasciitis typically causes sharp pain in the heel, especially during the first steps in the morning or after long periods of rest.

Prevention: To prevent plantar fasciitis it's important to:

• Stretch properly before exercise, particularly the Achilles tendon.
• Wear shoes with good arch support and replace worn-out footwear regularly.
• Use orthotic devices to support your arches during daily activities or while resting.
• Avoid shoes with overly soft insoles or lacking arch support.

Treatment: If you suspect plantar fasciitis, consult a podiatrist for a diagnosis. Recovery often includes rest, rehabilitation, stretching, and icing.
