Not uncommon: Pf is an overuse injury. It can occur with any foot type. Ice, stretch, good shoes and supports are very important. See your foot specialist for a thorough evaluation and treatment discussion. Dr l.

Not just flat feet!: Plantar fasciitis is inflammation in the thick, fibrous band of tissue that helps support the arch of your foot. This can occur because of poor shoegear (unsupportive flats, heels, flips flops, old canvas shoes), an increase in activity (training for an athletic event), or an increase in weight or other stress to your feet. See your podiatrist for treatment options.
