Plantar Fasciitis symptoms, causes, and treatment

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes pain in the heel and bottom of the foot. It occurs due to inflammation or degeneration of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone (calcaneus) to the toes and supports the arch of the foot. It is especially prevalent among athletes, people who stand for long periods, and those with certain foot structures like high arches or flat feet.
