What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis commonly develops from too much foot pronation. Pronation occurs when the foot rolls inward and the arches collapse when walking or running. There are several reasons why foot pronation can occur. Pronation can occur from poor foot and body posture, loss of joint flexibility, and a weak foot tripod. It can also occur from not being able to do 3 basic toe movements.

Conventional Medical Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis is NOT The Answer

Medical treatment for plantar fasciitis usually focuses on treating symptoms and not treating what is causing the pain. Anti-inflammatory medication, cortisone injections, and shockwave therapy are common treatments. They may relieve pain and inflammation, but they do not fix what is causing the problem. Fasciotomy is a common surgery for plantar fasciitis. Its effectiveness is questionable because it has been shown to cause more foot pronation and pain elsewhere in the foot.
