Causes of Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia becomes inflamed due to repetitive stress or strain. This condition is especially common among people who engage in high-impact activities, such as running or jumping, and those who spend prolonged hours standing or walking. Wearing inadequate or unsupportive footwear can further contribute to the development of plantar fasciitis by failing to properly support the arch and heel.

While plantar fasciitis can develop without an identifiable cause, certain risk factors increase its likelihood. Flat feet, high arches, or an abnormal walking pattern can place extra strain on the plantar fascia. Additionally, occupations that involve extended standing or walking are known to increase the risk of heel pain and inflammation. Understanding these causes can help us create a more effective and targeted treatment plan for your plantar fasciitis.

Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis and When to Seek Treatment

Identifying plantar fasciitis symptoms early on can make a big difference in finding relief and preventing the condition from worsening. Here are a few of the most common symptoms to watch out for that may indicate the need for plantar fasciitis treatment:

  • Sharp heel pain when first getting up in the morning
  • Pain that worsens after activity, not during it
  • Tenderness or stiffness in the heel or bottom of the foot
  • Discomfort that radiates along the arch of the foot
  • Pain that lingers despite rest or over-the-counter treatments

If you have any of the symptoms of plantar fasciitis listed above, our expert podiatry team at StrideCare can help you relieve pain, enhance daily comfort, and protect your overall foot health from future problems with plantar fasciitis.
