Feet are one of the most robust and resilient
parts of the human body, bearing the brunt of
everyday stress and strain. Persistent and
intense pain in the feet, however, can indicate
underlying and potentially serious issues. One
such condition is Plantar Fasciitis. Plantar
fasciitis often presents as stiffness in the foot
or pain when standing for long periods. It can
also cause discomfort while walking, running, or
going uphill. In severe cases, individuals
might experience a stabbing pain in the heel,
particularly when first stepping out of bed. If
you notice these symptoms, it could be a sign of
Plantar Fasciitis.

What is Plantar Fasciitis? Plantar Fasciitis is
a foot and heel pain condition that occurs when
the Plantar Fascia, a fibrous band of tissue on
the bottom of your foot that supports the arch,
becomes irritated and swollen. Overstretching can
cause this band (fascia) to lose its elasticity,
leading to inflammation and pain. Any damage to
the Plantar Fascia can alter your walking
patterns and posture, potentially causing heel
spurs, ligament tears, and pain in the ankle,
knee, hip, and back, along with the risk of
osteoarthritis and pelvic instability. Understand
ing this condition is a proactive way to prevent
it from occurring or to undergo the right
treatment options to alleviate the symptoms. So,
in this blog, let us explore plantar fasciitis 
its symptoms, causes, and treatment options
available in Mumbai.

• Causes and Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
• Plantar fasciitis can creep up on you, whether
  slowly over time or suddenly, after a busy day on
  your feet. Spotting the signs early can make a
  huge difference in managing it effectively. Here
  are some key symptoms to watch out for
• Sharp heel pain, especially when you take your
  first steps in the morning.
• A burning or aching sensation in the arch of your
  foot.
• Discomfort that intensifies after physical
  activity, but usually not during the exercise
  itself.
• Stiffness in the foot makes those initial steps
  after sitting or sleeping particularly tough.
• Tenderness when you press on the bottom of your
  foot near the heel.
• Severe heel or foot pain after long periods of
  rest or inactivity.
• A tight Achilles tendon can make your heel feel
  even more strained.
• Pain that worsens when you climb stairs or walk
  on your tiptoes.
• Catching these symptoms early can help you take
  the proper steps to regain feeling great on your
  feet.

So What Causes Plantar Fasciitis? Plantar
fasciitis can be caused by several factors,
including 1. Constant Stretching and
Strain Continuous stress on the plantar
fascia leads to chronic degeneration and small
tears, especially where it attaches to the heel
bone. Ultrasound often reveals calcifications and
thickening of the fascia. 2. Obesity Excess
weight increases stress on the plantar fascia and
related ligaments, contributing to degeneration.
Obesity also affects other connective tissues,
worsening the condition. 3. Flat Feet (Pes
Planus) Flat feet cause direct ground contact
across the sole, significantly increasing the
risk of plantar fasciitis. This foot deformity is
prevalent in 20-30 of the population. 4.
Shortened Achilles Tendon A shortened Achilles
tendon, often linked to abnormal motor
development like toe walking in children,
increases the risk of plantar fascia injury. 5.
High-Arched Feet (Pes Cavus) Abnormal weight
distribution due to high arches can lead to
increased plantar fascia damage, especially
during standing or walking.

6. Over pronation Inward foot rolling, common in
individuals with flat feet, is a significant risk
factor associated with 86 of plantar fasciitis
cases. 7. Weak Foot Muscles Weak intrinsic foot
muscles that support the longitudinal arch
increase the risk of plantar fasciitis. 8.
Athletic Activities Certain sports and
exercises, such as running, ballet, basketball,
marathon running, gymnastics, soccer, tennis, and
dance aerobics, stress the plantar ligaments and
increase the risk of developing plantar
fasciitis, especially without proper conditioning
and stretching. 9. Prolonged Standing Jobs that
involve long hours of standing or walking on hard
surfaces, such as factory work, military service,
and teaching, can predispose individuals to
plantar fasciitis. 10. Poor Footwear Wearing
poorly fitting shoes lacking arch support or
excessively worn-out shoes significantly
increases the risk of plantar fasciitis,
especially when walking on hard surfaces.

Plantar Fasciitis Surgery In severe cases where
conservative treatments fail, surgical procedures
may be considered to release tension on
the plantar fascia or remove damaged tissue. In
most cases, non-surgical treatment options are
sufficient for relieving symptoms and improving
conditions if the condition is diagnosed and
treated early. If you are suffering from any of
the symptoms mentioned above, we recommend you
contact a foot and ankle surgeon as early as
possible to improve your chances for optimal
outcomes. Dr. Pradeep Moonot, an esteemed heel
