Plantar fasciitis is a condition where the plantar fascia is pulling on the heel bone and therefore causing inflammation and pain. The plantar fascia is the connective tissue that acts as a stabilizer and maintains the integrity of the arch of the foot. It originates at the bottom of the heel bone, is attached to the ball of the foot, and continues forward to insert at the toes.
