What Plantar Fasciitis Is And Why It Hurts
Plantar fasciitis develops when the thick band of tissue along the bottom of your foot becomes irritated from repeated strain and pressure. This can lead to:
- Sharp heel pain, especially with your first steps in the morning
- Discomfort after long periods of standing or walking
- Tightness or aching along the bottom of the foot
- Pain that improves with movement but returns later in the day
Left untreated, this irritation can make everyday activities more difficult and keep you from staying active.
Common Signs Of Plantar Fasciitis
If you’re noticing any of the following symptoms, it may be time to have your heel pain evaluated by Dr. Elkattawy:
Pain With Your First Steps In The Morning
Heel Pain After Standing Or Walking
Tightness Along The Bottom Of The Foot
Pain That Gets Worse After Activity
Sound familiar? Let’s talk about your symptoms.
What Causes Plantar Fasciitis To Flare Up
Plantar fasciitis can develop when repeated stress puts too much strain on the bottom of your foot over time. Certain habits, activities, and foot structures can increase that pressure and lead to long-term discomfort.
In some cases, repetitive strain at work or long hours spent standing, walking, or lifting can contribute to plantar fasciitis. We also provide care for work-related foot pain as part of workers’ compensation cases.
Common causes include:
Overuse And Repetitive Strain
Flat Feet Or High Arches
Unsupportive Footwear
Sports And Exercise Injuries
Long Hours On Your Feet
