Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Guide

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain in adults. It’s an irritation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that runs along the sole from the heel to the toes. The classic sign is a sharp, stabbing pain under the heel with your first steps in the morning or after sitting, which eases as you move and returns after long periods on your feet. It usually develops when the fascia is overloaded by long hours standing, a jump in activity, tight calves, unsupportive shoes or the way your foot rolls as you walk. Most people recover with stretching, better footwear and support for the arch and heel. This guide explains the causes and the treatments that help, and our orthotics and insoles for plantar fasciitis show which Footlogics insoles suit your shoes.
