Plantar Fasciitis is a common but serious and painful condition that occurs when the ligament on the bottom of the foot becomes inflamed. This ligament extends from the front of the heel to the ball of the foot.
The pain associated with plantar fasciitis is often described as very painful first thing in the morning or after sitting or resting for a while, and then somewhat subsides after walking several steps.
Clients with diabetes or poor circulation are encouraged to seek professional help.
