Plantar Fasciitis occurs when the long, flat ligament on the bottom of the foot, the Plantar Fascia,
stretches irregularly and develops small tears & ruptures which cause plantar fasciitis.
The onset of plantar fasciitis can have many causes. When walking with a normal step, the plantar fascia ligament stretches as the foot strikes the ground. When walking with an abnormal step, the plantar fascia ligament can stretch irregularly, become stressed, and develop small tears. These small tears can cause the fascia ligament to become inflamed (plantar fasciitis).
The repetitive stress of certain conditions or activities can lead to small tears in the ligament and inflammation. Conditions or activities that may lead to plantar fasciitis include:
Biomechanical factors, such as abnormal inward twisting (pronation), high arches, flat feet, or tight tendons at the back of the heel (Achilles tendons).
Excessive pronation, which can cause tension in the plantar fascia as the arch lowers during standing or walking, has been found in about 85% of people with plantar fasciitis.
Repetitive foot use, such as from jobs or activities that require prolonged walking or standing on hard or irregular surfaces or from sports such as running.
Aggravating factors, such as being overweight or poorly cushioned shoes.
Natural process of aging.
In rare cases, a single, traumatic injury to the foot.
