Plantar Fasciitis

Does your foot cause jolting pain? Do you feel discomfort when you walk, run, or otherwise put pressure on it? You may have a case of plantar fasciitis, especially if the pain stems from your heel.

What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

One of the primary foot problems that people experience in Chicagoland is heel pain. And that pain commonly results from plantar fasciitis—an inflammation of the muscle tissue that connects the base of the toes to the heel. This condition often occurs as a result of excessive walking or running when the foot rolls inward before it hits the ground.

You’ll be able to identify your heel pain as plantar fasciitis if you feel sharp, stabbing pain after waking up or sitting down for long periods of time. Remember that running isn’t the only cause of plantar fasciitis for residents of Chicagoland. This heel pain also results from poor shoe support, flat feet, and atypical walking patterns.
