What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most frequent causes of heel pain, resulting from inflammation of the plantar fascia — a thick band of tissue connecting your heel bone to your toes. It commonly affects individuals who spend long hours on their feet, athletes, or those wearing improper footwear.
