Plantar Fasciitis Care in Phoenix, Glendale, and Scottsdale, AZ 

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It happens when the thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) on the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed or overstretched. This condition can make your first steps in the morning very painful, or cause sharp heel pain after long periods of standing or walking.
