Symptoms of
Plantar Fasciitis
Pain
is the main symptom of Plantar Fasciitis. This can
be anywhere on the underside of the heel. Commonly one spot is
found as the main source of pain in plantar fasciitis.
This is often about 4 cms forward from the heel, and may be
tender to touch. The pain of plantar fasciitis usually
eases on resting the foot, but is often worst when first used in
the morning. Gentle exercise may then ease things a
little as the day goes by, but a long walk often makes the
pain associated with
plantar fasciitis
worse. Sudden stretching of the sole of the foot may make the
pain worse, for example, walking up stairs or on
tip-toes.

different orthotic an insole treatments for plantar
fasciitis. Ranging from Plantar fasciitis night splints
