Plantar fasciitis is primarily caused by the straining of the ligament that supports the arch of your foot. Repeated strain can cause tiny tears in the ligament, leading to pain and swelling. This condition is common in runners, overweight individuals, and those wearing inadequate footwear.
Common Causes:
Excessive running or walking
Inadequate footwear that doesn’t provide adequate support
Excessive weight that puts more strain on the foot
High arches or flat feet that alter foot pressure during movement
