GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Plantar fasciitis affects the bottom of the foot, most commonly causing pain in the centre and inner side of the heel. It’s caused by damage to the strong band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, which runs from the heel, beneath the arch of the foot to the base of the toes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plantar fasciitis typically causes a stabbing pain in the bottom of your foot near the heel. The pain is usually the worst with the first few steps after awakening, although it can also be triggered by long periods of standing or when you get up from sitting.

Detailed explanation-3: -If acute plantar fasciitis pain does not respond to conservative treatment or one’s heel is subject to repetitive trauma and inflammation of the plantar fascia, chronic plantar fasciitis or plantar fasciosis may develop. Plantar fasciosis is a chronic thickening and degeneration of the plantar fascia.
