Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain in adults — the characteristic sharp, stabbing pain worst with first morning steps results from chronic micro-tearing and inflammation at the plantar fascia’s heel bone attachment. Without professional treatment, most cases become a chronic, activity-limiting condition.
