What is the plantar fasciitis?

 

Hello.
If you have frequent foot and heel pain, please pay attention to today's article.

If something hurts, it definitely means that there's a problem with that area. If there is no pain, we will not recognize and treat even if there is a problem.

Therefore, if a part hurts, instead of thinking it is annoying and solving it with painkillers, we should clearly identify the cause and eliminate the cause.

Then, why does heel pain occur and what part of the problem is it? In general, if the heel hurts, it is often plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis refers to a condition in which the plantar fascia is repeatedly damaged and inflamed. The plantar fascia has five branches, starting from the heel bone to the front of the sole, It's a band of fibers attached to the toes.
This tissue creates an arch on the sole of the foot to absorb the impact on the foot. Therefore, if you have a problem with this plantar fascia, your heels or soles will hurt.
