Here’s what you should know about getting board-certified Colorado Springs plantar fasciitis (heel pain) careat Intermountain Foot & Ankle:

Plantar fasciitis is characterized by severe pain in the heel of the foot, especially when standing up after resting. The condition is due to an overuse injury of the sole surface (plantar) of the foot and results in inflammation of the fascia, a tough, fibrous band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the base of the toes.

Plantar fasciitis is more common in women, people who are overweight, people with occupations that require a lot of walking or standing on hard surfaces, people with flat feet, and people with high arches. Walking or running, especially with tight calf muscles, may also cause the condition.

Treatment may include:

  • rest
  • ice pack applications
  • nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications
  • stretching exercises of the Achilles tendons and plantar fascia
