What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar Fasciitis treatment is often needed by middle-aged people who are on their feet a lot. Extremely uncomfortable pain in the heel and along the arch is caused by a strain in the ligament on the bottom of your foot. The ligament stretches from your heel to your toes. The ligament is referred to as the plantar fascia. If the plantar fascia becomes strained it gets weak, swollen and inflamed and generates pain.
What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?
Anybody who is consistently on their feet can suffer from Plantar Fasciitis. Typical jobs that cause this problem include athletes, waitresses, soldiers and cashiers. Some common culprits of Plantar Fasciitis are:
