What’s the cause of plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is caused by straining the ligament that supports your arch. Repeated strain can cause tiny tears in the ligament. These can lead to pain and swelling. This is more likely to happen if:
Your feet roll inward too much when you walk (excessive pronation).
You have high arches or flat feet.
You walk, stand, or run for long periods of time, especially on hard surfaces.
You are overweight.
You wear shoes that don't fit well or are worn out.
You have tight Achilles tendons or calf muscles.
A foot doctor (podiatrist) will recommend the best way to keep the morning pain of plantar fasciitis away is to wear a night brace. This simple remedy raises your foot while you sleep. That pre-stretches the plantar fascia in your sole. As you wake up and take your first step in the morning, the pain is avoided. The Stretch-Away Plantar Fasciitis Night Brace is particularly recommended, and does not cost a fortune like other foot splints and braces.
