What is plantar fasciitis? can it become chronic, and if yes, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is a problem : With the plantar fascial tissue a broad banded ligament on the bottom of the foot. Some say it is inflammation of this tissue others believe it to be a degeneration. It can become chronic...why? Because it wasnt treated during the acute state and did not heal...
