PLANTAR FASCIITIS PAD

Plantar fasciitis (inflammation to the plantar fascia ligament) is most commonly caused by strain injury causing micro-tears to the ligament as it attaches to the heel bone or other areas of tightness on the sole of the foot.

• The main symptoms of plantar fasciitis include
  
  
  • heel pain,
  
  
  • foot pain,
  
  
  • stiffness, and
  
  
  • tenderness.

• Plantar fasciitis is diagnosed based on the history of the condition as well as the physical examination.
• Plantar fasciitis can occur alone or be related to underlying diseases.
• Plantar fasciitis is treated by measures that decrease the associated inflammation and avoid re injury.
