What causes plantar fasciitis?

Inadequate support: Of foot due to either inadequate shoewear or poor biomechanics is the main reason. See podiatrist for evaluation and treatment.

Several things: Injury, over use, bone spur, improper. Shoes.

Surface: Over use, bio mechanics, occupation, sports are some causes.

Anything: That places strain on the ligament. It could be some minor trauma the person can't recall like stepping on an uneven surface or off a curb, it can be from overuse like all of a sudden running or running for a length of time you are not used too.

Inflammation. : 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.
