Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common foot pain issues that affect the musculoskeletal system of many people living in the United States. Plantar Fasciitis affects the heel of the foot, and causes many aches with shooting pain whenever pressure is brought down upon it through daily actions such as walking. This makes plantar fasciitis highly disruptive to normal daily activities. The cause of this condition are tears in the tissue running along the bottom of the foot, this is called the plantar fascia ligament by the medical field. Symptoms of this disorder are oftentimes painful and include not only pain but ongoing inflammation in the foot and surrounding areas.

While it is estimated that around 2 million Americans are afflicted with plantar fasciitis, the causes of the condition are known to be highly variable with a number of different factors from a broad range of possible conclusions. One of the more typical causes of this disorder is foot trauma brought about by a fall. After plantar fasciitis has developed and the acute pain has set in, oftentimes this causes people to change the way they walk in order to avoid putting too much weight on the affected area. This usually resonates up and causes painful sensations throughout the body. However, this practice can also lead to further complications over time like misalignments within the musculoskeletal system and undue stress on joints and ligaments.
