Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain in adults — the sharp, stabbing pain worst with first morning steps results from chronic micro-tearing and inflammation at the plantar fascia’s heel bone attachment. Professional podiatric care prevents the condition from becoming a chronic, activity-limiting problem.
