Understanding Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis
Heel pain is a common foot problem, often caused by plantar fasciitis—inflammation of the connective tissue along the bottom of your foot. It can lead to sharp pain, especially with your first steps in the morning or after long periods of standing.
Common causes include
Overuse or repetitive strain
Foot structure issues (flat feet, high arches, abnormal gait)
Improper footwear lacking support or cushioning
Age and weight factors increasing stress on the plantar fascia
Symptoms may include
Heel tenderness
or stiffness
Pain after activity or
long periods of rest
Swelling in the
heel area
