Plantar Fasciitis in Pregnancy

Quick Answer: Plantar fasciitis is very common in pregnancy due to weight gain, hormonal ligament changes, and altered gait. Conservative treatment is safe — supportive shoes, arch supports, ice, and gentle stretching. Avoid cortisone.

Safe Treatment

Supportive shoes (Hoka, Brooks), over-the-counter or custom arch supports, ice rolls, and calf stretches are all safe and effective.
