• What causes Planter Fasciitis?

  Heel pain can affect the bottom of your heel or the area at the back of your foot. It has many causes, including:
  

  • Structural foot or ankle problems

  • Bursitis

  • Achilles tendonitis

  • Diabetic peripheral neuropathy

  • Arthritis

  • Stress fractures

  • Obesity

  An abnormal gait (walking in a way that puts pressure on the heel) can cause pain. Continually doing high-impact exercise like running, jogging, and jumping, especially on hard surfaces, commonly causes heel pain. Wearing ill-fitting or unsupportive shoes can also cause heel pain or make it worse.
  One of the most likely causes of pain on the bottom of your heel is plantar fasciitis. This condition develops when inflammation affects the plantar fascia, a piece of connective tissue that runs under your foot.
