Plantar Fasciitis is overuse of the plantar fascia or arch tendon of the foot. This condition usually occurs when a band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes becomes weak, swollen, and inflamed. Plantar fasciitis can be caused by standing, walking or running for long periods of time. Wearing ill-fitted shoes can also cause Plantar fasciitis. One of the best ways to treat the problem is to wear shoes that will combat the effects of plantar fasciitis. Using the right shoe does help!
