What is plantar fasciitis? A Charlotte Physical Therapist explains.

One of the most common foot pathologies we see is plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is the irritation of the connective tissue due to lack of strength and durability to increased load or weight bearing. The pain is usually at the back of the heel and moves into the arch of the foot.

The cause of plantar fasciitis is not well understood, however there are a few risk factors associated with this condition:
-periods of increased or unaccustomed activity after a period of inactivity
-limited dorsiflexion range of motion
-most commonly occurs in runners

There is also a great debate about people that overpronate vs. underpronate, and which type of person will develop plantar fasciitis.

There are also usually other weaknesses or compensations up and down the chain that may be causing this condition.

Follow along as we dive deeper into this condition and how it is evaluated and treated!
