Plantar Fasciitis and Other Causes of Heel Pain Plantar fasciitis, the most common cause of heel pain, may have several different clinical presentations. Although pain may occur along the entire course of the plantar fascia, it is usually limited to the inferior medial aspect of the calcaneus, at the medial process of the calcaneal tubercle.

- Plantar Fasciitis. Also referred to as 'jogger's heel', plantar fasciitis is probably the most common cause of heel pain. This injury is the result of damage and inflammation to a band of tissue in the foot, the plantar fascia.The pain caused by this injury often radiates into the arch of the foot.auses. Plantar fasciitis is an injury caused by overuse and the resulting strain placed on the collagen fibres close to the plantar fascia's attachment to the heel bone. Repetitive over-stretching of the plantar fascia under the foot leads to thickening of the tendon, and damage to the surrounding fibres.

Numbness in the Heel? Tarsal tunnel is often confused with plantar fasciitis, which is another major cause of heel pain. The tarsal tunnel is a canal linking part of the ankle bone, called the medial malleolus, to a set of ligaments, called the flexor retinaculum, which span the foot.

Plantar Fasciitis and Other Causes of Heel Pain Heel pain secondary to sciatica is a result of pressure on the L5-S1 nerve root, which provides segmental innervation to the posterior thigh, and the gluteal, anterior, posterior and lateral leg muscles, as well as sensation to the heel. This nerve root is also responsible for the plantar response (ankle reflex).

2 Major Causes of Heel Pain Generally speaking, if the pain is under your heel bone it is likely plantar fasciitis. If the pain is found at the back of the heel, in the achilles or toward the base of the achilles (the long cord that extends from your calf to your heel bone), then it is likely achilles tendinitis. The pain from this condition is caused by inflammation of a thick tissue that begins at the heel and extends to the toes.

A Patientâs Guide to Heel Pain What is Plantar Fasciitis? Plantar fasciitis is a condition which causes heel and arch pain. Plantar fasciitis pain can be traced to inflammation on the bottom of the foot. Plantar fasciitis, which you may also have heard called Heel Spur Syndrome, is basically just an inflammation of the connective tissue in the foot. That connective tissue is the plantar fascia. It runs from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, and inserts into the heel bone.

Plantar Fasciitis and Other Causes of Heel Pain Rupture of the plantar fascia is an uncommon cause of plantar heel pain. Patients often report severe pain in the medial arch following physical trauma. Some patients have been misdiagnosed and treated unsuccessfully for several months with steroid injections for presumed plantar fasciitis.

Heel Pain Overview (See Anatomy of the Foot and Ankle). Gait abnormalities can cause inflammation of the structures attached to the heel bone, resulting in heel pain. Inflammation of the plantar fascia, called plantar fasciitis, is the most common cause of heel pain.Plantar fasciitis often causes pain that is more severe following a period of rest (e.g., after sleeping).eel pain also is relatively common in active children and adolescents between the ages of 8 and 13. Pediatric heel pain frequently occurs on the bottom rear of the heel or the sides. Heel pain occurs in both heels (bilaterally) in less than 30 percent of cases.

You know you have plantar fasciitis if you feel pain in your heel or arch first thing in the morning, because the fascia stiffens during the night. If the problem is left untreated, it can cause a buildup of calcium, which may create a painful, bony growth around the heel known as a heel spur.

Heel Pain It is caused by long-term strain on the plantar fascia and muscles of the foot, especially in obese people, runners or joggers. As in plantar fasciitis, shoes that are worn out, poorly fitting or poorly constructed can aggravate the problem. Heel spurs may not be the cause of heel pain even when seen on an X-ray.
