What is Heel pain or  Plantar Fasciitis?
There is a tight band that runs along the bottom of the foot called the plantar fascia. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of that band of tissue.  With plantar fasciitis, the fascia first becomes irritated and then inflamed-resulting in heel pain.

What Plantar Fasciitis Feels Like
The symptoms of plantar fasciitis are:

• Pain on the bottom of the heel
• Pain that is usually worse upon arising
• Pain that increases over a period of months

Plantar fascial pain is most often described with the pain being worse in the morning when a patient gets up out of bed or after they've been sitting for long periods of time. Typically, after a few minutes of walking the pain decreases, this is due to walking stretching the fascia. For some people the pain subsides but returns after spending long periods of time on their feet.
