Causes of Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation and thickening of the plantar fascia; the band of tissue in the sole of your foot that links the heel and toe bones. It usually causes a stabbing pain of the bottom of your foot which is worse in the morning. Because your plantar fascia is such a vital part of how your foot works, it’s important that you know what causes plantar fasciitis so you can avoid it.

Plantar Fasciitis is a condition that has ruined countless feet and the best way to combat it is by catching it early.

Stretches for Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the tissue in your foot which runs from your heel to your toe. This makes your foot very painful, and is the leading cause of foot pain. However, there are stretches for plantar fasciitis you can do to help deal with the condition.


What are the Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis?

The symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis are similar to any condition of the foot caused by wear and tear in that they come about gradually, worsening over time. Plantar Fasciitis symptoms can appear in one or both feet and the signs of the condition can vary in person to person and over a period of time. Plantar Fasciitis as brought about by injury will often differ in its pain symptom to a case caused by smaller injuries over the course of a longer period.



Plantar Fasciitis: What is a Night Splint?

One potential treatment for plantar fasciitis is the use of a night splint. This is designed to be used overnight, and holds the foot in such a way that the affected tissue (known as the plantar fascia) is continually stretched and becomes tighter. This helps the tissue heal and go back to its correct length.


Running with Plantar Fasciitis

While Plantar Fasciitis can be a painful and uncomfortable condition, it is unlikely that sufferers are able (or indeed willing) to give up their normal routines as they wait for their foot to recover. Also known as Jogger’s Foot, it’s understandable that many a jogger may not be happy to suddenly halt their routines altogether, luckily for active sufferers everywhere, that is not always strictly necessary and running with Plantar Fasciitis is still possible.
