Definition: Plantar Fascitis Plantar Fascitis is an irritation and inflammation at the bottom of your foot. The plantar fascia is a tight band of elastic tissue that runs longitudinally along the foot. Its job is to protect the foot and support the arch. This support allows the foot to be both an efficient shock absorber and a spring for acceleration< The plantar fascia is frequently strained due to overuse.Overuse may be too much running, walking on even surfaces, or pounding, as in basketball or racquet sports. A microscopic tear gets hot and inflamed when not afforded proper rest. Unfortunately, when the situation is bad, even simple walking is enough to maintain the irritation. Although plantar Fascitis can become chronic, it is extremely rare to have it require surgery or require one to give up their sport.
