Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition affecting almost 2million Americans. Small tears in the plantar fascia ligament lead to inflammation that causes heel pain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plantar fasciitis pain is felt near the heel bone (calcaneous bone) and is worse first thing in the morning, because the plantar fascia ligament tightens overnight. The first few steps in the morning are the most painful, but being off the foot for a while and then standing up will cause the same pain, which can be severe, to recur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Causes of Plantar Fasciitis Foot Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Causes<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ligaments are made to stretch with movement. However, too much movement or activity or abnormal stress on a part of the ligament leads to small tears in the ligament. Continued activity or repetitive stress leads to inflammation in and around the ligament. Some things that lead to tears in the plantar fascia by putting extra stress on the ligament are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 new activity or a change in activity
\u2022 unusual gait, such as flat feet, over-pronation, or high arches
\u2022 overweight
\u2022 poor fitting footwear that forces the foot into an abnormal position
\u2022 certain diseases, such as arthritis and diabetes can lead to inflammation in the foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding Heel Spur Pain to the Pain From Plantar Fasciitis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pain from the torn and inflamed ligament may be made even worse if a heel spur, a bony fragment that grows from the heel bone, develops with the stress from plantar fasciitis on the foot. This happens when the plantar fascia is pulled away from the heel bone repeatedly. Heel spurs, which can be seen on X-ray, can occur without plantar fasciitis, but frequently develop in conjunction with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
