Plantar Fasciitis

Physical Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis in Kansas City

Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of foot and/or heel pain.

Plantar Fasciitis involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. When muscles of the foot and/or calf are tight, it creates increased pull and force through the plantar fascia, which leads to pain in the bottom of the foot at the arch or at the heel. Left untreated, plantar fasciitis can create a bone spur on the heel which only increases pain.

Symptoms

Plantar Fasciitis can be felt on the bottom of the foot, primarily in the heel, arch, or base of the toes. Sometimes plantar fasciitis can be felt in all three areas underneath the foot, but more commonly it is felt only in one or two areas.

Pain and Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis may include:

  • Pain underneath the foot experienced in the morning
  • Pain while walking after sitting for prolonged periods
  • Pain while standing
  • Pain after running
