Plantar fasciitis is the leading cause of heel pain in adults, producing a sharp, stabbing sensation worst with first morning steps that results from chronic inflammation and micro-tearing at the plantar fascia’s attachment to the heel bone. Left untreated, it can become a persistent, activity-limiting condition that affects daily work and quality of life.
