Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis is the irritation and inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of connective tissue running along the bottom of the foot. Pain is usually felt near the heel, but can also be felt in the arch. The pain is most predominant when taking the first few steps in the morning but may improve during the day.
Plantar fasciitis can be caused by different factors, including foot arch problems, a tight Achilles tendon, lack of support during prolonged standing, obesity or sudden weight gain.
The key to healing plantar fasciitis is to minimize stress on the plantar fascia ligament so that the body can start to heal the inflammation.
Footbalance custom insoles support your feet and arches properly in the neutral position, facilitating healthy foot function. This can help reduce the strain and stress on the plantar fascia, reducing pain and helping the area heal.
