Q: What causes plantar fasciitis?

Repetitive strain and pressure on the plantar fascia, leading to micro-tears, can result in plantar fasciitis. Prolonged standing, high-impact activities, and exercising without stretching or warming up can also cause plantar fasciitis. Other health conditions, like obesity, flat feet, and high arches can be causes of plantar fasciitis as well.

Q: Can shoes cause plantar fasciitis?

Poorly fitted or unsupportive shoes can indeed play a role in plantar fasciitis. Shoes that have a lack of cushioning, arch support, and a cramped toe box can cause strain on your plantar fascia and thus actively contribute to foot pain.

Q: What does plantar fasciitis feel like?

Plantar fasciitis pain can vary from person to person. Some types of pain you may feel with plantar fasciitis can include: A sharp or stabbing pain when putting pressure on your heel or affected foot. A constant, achy pain. Pain from standing after sitting or after prolonged periods of rest. Pain that improves with activity but worsens when you stop moving.

Q: How to treat plantar fasciitis?

Treating plantar fasciitis can include conservative treatments, such as rest, stretching, icing your foot, using orthotics, and wearing supportive footwear. More advanced plantar fasciitis treatment options can include physical therapy and injections, like corticosteroids.

Q: How long does plantar fasciitis last?

Plantar fasciitis symptoms can improve as soon as you start treatment. A full recovery from plantar fasciitis may take anywhere from six to 12 months. Consistency with treatments and avoiding high-impact activities can help speed up your recovery.

One of the most common heel pain causes, plantar fasciitis involves the inflammation of the plantar fascia, the tough band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your feet. Tension increases in the plantar fascia whenever you place weight on your foot, as it’s what connects the heel bone to the toes. Prolonged overuse of the plantar fascia can cause it to lose some of its elasticity and become irritated, leading to plantar fasciitis.
