Plantar fasciitis anaa plantar heel pain be a disorder of de plantar fascia, wich be de connective tissue wey dey support de arch of de foot.[1] E dey result in pain insyd de heel den bottom of de foot wey usually be most severe plus de first steps of de day anaa following a period of rest.[1][2] Pain be sanso frequently brought on by bending de foot den toes up towards de shin.[2][3] De pain typically dey cam on gradually, wey e dey affect both feet in about one-third of cases.[1][3]
De cause of plantar fasciitis no be entirely clear.[1] Risk factors dey include overuse, such as from long periods of standing, an increase in exercise, den obesity.[1][2] E sanso be associated plus inward rolling of de foot, a tight Calf muscle den Achilles tendon, den a sedentary lifestyle.[1][2] E be unclear if heel spurs get a role in causing plantar fasciitis even though dem be commonly present insyd people wey get de condition.[1] Plantar fasciitis be a disorder of de insertion site of de ligament on de bone wey be characterized by micro tears, breakdown of collagen, den scarring.[1] Since inflammation dey play either a lesser anaa no role, a review proposed wey be disorder be renamed plantar fasciosis.[1][4] De presentation of de symptoms be generally de basis for diagnosis. Oda conditions plus similar symptoms dey include osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, heel pad syndrome, den reactive arthritis.[5][6] Ultrasound fi be useful in cases wer de symptoms make diagnosis less certain.[1]
Chaw cases of plantar fasciitis dey resolve plus time den conservative methods of treatment.[2][7] For de first few weeks, those wey be affected usually be advised to rest, change dema activities, take pain medications, den stretch.[2] If dis no be sufficient, physiotherapy, orthotics, splinting, anaa steroid injections fi be options.[2] If dese measures no be effective, additional measures fi include extracorporeal shockwave therapy anaa surgery.[2]
Between 4% den 7% of de general population get heel pain at any given time: about 80% of dese be secof plantar fasciitis.[1][5] Approximately 10% of people get de disorder at sam point during dema life.[8] E cam be more common plus age.[1] E be unclear if one sex be more affected dan de oda.[1]
