WHAT IS PLANTAR FASCIITIS?
Plantar fasciitis is a condition characterised by degeneration of the plantar fascia, a tissue band that runs from the base of the heel to the toes. It often causes heel and arch pain and difficulty walking, affecting your daily activities and overall well-being. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent further complications and reduce pain.
