Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel and arch discomfort and involves irritation of the plantar fascia — the thick band of connective tissue that runs from the toes to the heel bone. Excessive foot rolling (overpronation) can place added strain on this tissue, which may contribute to inflammation over time.
Sometimes referred to as heel spur syndrome, plantar fasciitis is often managed with conservative approaches such as stretching, supportive footwear or orthotics, activity modification, and other non-surgical therapies.
In cases where symptoms persist, advanced options such as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) may be considered as part of a personalized treatment plan.
Always consult your physician before starting or changing any treatment.
