Many people suffer from plantar fasciitis. plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is the band of tissue that connects the heel to the toes. The plantar fascia helps to support the arch of the foot and acts as a shock absorber.

Plantar fasciitis can be caused by overuse, injury, or other conditions that put stress on the foot. The condition is most common in people who are middle-aged or older, and who are active.

There are several treatment options for plantar fasciitis. In many cases, simple self-care measures can be effective. These include rest, ice, and over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers.

If self-care measures don’t relieve the pain, your doctor may recommend other treatments. These may include:

* Stretching and strengthening exercises

* Physical therapy

* Orthotic devices

* Night splints

* Corticosteroid injections

In some cases, surgery may be necessary to release the plantar fascia or to remove a heel spur.
