Plantar fasciitis, also commonly referred to as plantar fasciopathy, is a frequent cause of pain underneath the heel.
The plantar fascia is a strong band of connective tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It contributes to arch support and helps the foot manage and transfer forces during walking, running, and other activities.
When the plantar fascia is repeatedly exposed to loads that exceed its current capacity, it can become painful and sensitive.
