What Are The Main Causes of Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that involves inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs from the heel bone to the ball of the foot. So, what are the main causes?

• Wearing footwear with a narrow toe box or an elevated heel
• Calf inflexibility or limited ankle mobility
• Weak intrinsic muscles of the foot and arch muscles
• Scar tissue and fascial adhesions in the plantar fascia and calf muscles

Our podiatrists will develop an individual treatment plan to help you find pain relief and prevent further damage to your plantar fascia.
