Foot Pain Diagnosis – What’s Causing Your Pain

Plantar Fasciitis

Another common cause of foot pain in many people is plantar fasciitis. This condition happens when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue, becomes irritated and inflamed. As a result, you would have pain across the bottom part of the foot, especially around the inner area of your heel. The sensation tends to become worse when you do intense physical activities or wake up in the morning. Physical therapy and exercises can help relieve inflammation and improve plantar fasciitis over time. Some common options include balance, strengthening, and stretching exercises. [2]
