10 Main Causes of Foot Pain

Plantar Fasciitis

One of the most common triggers of foot pain is plantar fasciitis. It is caused by irritation in the plantar fascia, a thick tissue band that runs across the foot’s bottom. This part helps connect your toes to your heel bone. People with this condition might have pain at the bottom of their foot, often near the heel’s inner part. Discomfort can be more common after intense exercises or waking up in the morning. Possible treatments for plantar fasciitis might help alleviate inflammation and ensure the biomechanics of the whole lower extremity, ankle, and foot. You can also perform some exercises, such as balance, strengthening, or stretching. [2]
