Risk Factors for Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is most commonly described as a nagging heel pain that is at its worst in the morning. Fortunately, the pain associated with the condition tends to go away as the day goes on, but it usually comes back the next day. Certain people are more susceptible to plantar fasciitis compared to others. Those who are overweight and live sedentary lifestyles have very often been found to have the condition. Surprisingly, another group of people who are likely to have plantar fasciitis is people that spend too much time on their feet, such as runners and factory workers.

Plantar fasciitis can be very painful and inconvenient. If you are experiencing heel pain or symptoms of plantar fasciitis, contact one of our podiatrists  from Foot & Ankle Premier Specialists. Our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, known as the plantar fascia, and causes mild to severe heel pain.
