Plantar Fasciitis

Information may not be reliable

The foot possesses over 30 joints. These joints are held together by groups of connective tissues. One type of connective tissue that holds the joints of the foot together are ligaments. Ligaments are made of collagen and attach bone to bone. On the outside side of the ankle, are three major ligaments, and there are several more ligaments on the inside of the ankle joint. These ligaments extend into the foot and are crucial in defining the range of motion of the foot. Ligaments in the foot include the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament, the deltoid ligament, the long plantar ligament, and the plantar calcaneocuboid.

The plantar fascia is a thick connective tissue in the foot that runs from the heel bone to the base of the toes. The plantar fascia is located in the sole of the foot, and helps support the arch. The plantar fascia may become inflamed, causing a condition known as plantar fasciitis.

Plantar Fasciitis typically occurs when the plantar fascia becomes overstretched or overused. This condition often effects men, 40-70 years old, and is one of the common causes of foot pain.
