PLANTAR FASCIITIS: The most common cause of heel pain in adults. Tendinitis of other tendons, such as achilles tendinopathy, nerve compression, bone spur, arthritis, etc. Are other causes. Tumors and infections are possible but rare. Stretching exercises for the plantar fascia and calf muscles, avoid barefoot walking, silicone heel shoe inserts, avoidance of aggravating factors helps. Your doctor has more to tools.

Plantar fascitis: Could be plantar fascitis or a heel spur or even a fracture of the os calcis . The cause is deterioration of ligaments along the longitudinal arch of the foot and esp at the metatarsal cuneiform m the cuneiform navicular, the talo navicular jont and at the spring ligament all of which stretch the plantar fascia and cause pain.
