Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain and can make even simple activities like walking, exercising, or standing for long periods difficult. At Alara Women’s Health, we understand how frustrating this condition can be — and we’re here to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to help you find relief and get back on your feet.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia — the strong band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot — becomes inflamed or irritated. This often causes sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, particularly in the morning or after long periods of rest.
Contributing factors include:
- Overuse or repetitive stress from walking, running, or standing
- Poor footwear or lack of support
- Foot mechanics such as flat feet or high arches
- Tight calves or Achilles tendons
- Weight changes, including pregnancy or postpartum
- Sudden increase in activity levels
