Plantar Fasciitis
Expert Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in San Francisco, CA
Inflammation of the strong, tenacious band of tissue that runs from the base of the toes (the fleshy ball of the foot) to the heel on the bottom of your foot is known as plantar fasciitis. The arch and the rest of the foot’s middle are supported and flexible by the plantar fascia. Occasionally, this band of tissue might experience irritation and inflammation, leading to plantar fasciitis. With age, plantar fasciitis becomes considerably more prevalent, as does it in those who spend a lot of time standing up, as well as in athletes whose feet are subjected to repetitive contact. Due to the added pressures on the midfoot region that come with being overweight or obese, people are also more susceptible to develop plantar fasciitis. Heel spurs can also irritate and inflame the plantar fascia.
