Plantar Fasciitis :
Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia. It is called as a part present between the heel and toes of the foot. The plantar fasciitis will be caused due to many reasons, such as irritation or damage to the plantar fascia while playing sports, exercising without a warm-up, exercising on a hard surface, wearing the wrong shoes, walking barefoot, and a few health conditions that can lead to plantar fasciitis, like flat feet, high arch feet, and obesity. The symptoms which will be observed in plantar fasciitis will be stiffness, heel pain, swelling around the heel, pain in the foot arch, and tightness in the Achilles tendon. The diagnosis of plantar fasciitis will be based on the ultrasound scan, X-rays, and MRI scan. Plantar fasciitis can be treated through medications, rest, icing the foot, wearing supportive shoes, shoe inserts, stretching and massaging, immobilisation with a walking boot, using corticosteroids, percutaneous needle tenotomy, and platelet-rich plasma therapy.
