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.

Morris and Genesee County presenting with plantar fasciitis commonly experience: sharp stabbing heel pain worst with first morning steps, pain after prolonged rest, arch aching during extended standing, inner heel tenderness, pain with barefoot walking on hard surfaces.
