When it comes to our well-being, mental health is just as important as physical health. Unfortunately, insurers haven't always seen it that way. In the past, many health insurance companies provided better coverage for physical illness than they did for mental health disorders.
Plantar fasciitis is the most frequent cause of plantar (bottom of the foot) heel pain. For many years pain in this region has been incorrectly termed the heel spur syndrome. It is better termed the plantar heel pain syndrome since a heel spur is not always found at this location.
Plantar fasciitis pain is most commonly felt in the heel area, so focus on shoes that have substantial heel support and cushioning. Shoes with flexible toe boxes will remove pressure from the plantar fascia while you are running. Dual-density midsoles will help keep your feet from rolling inward.aving the right running shoes with optimal support can help you keep your plantar fascia healthy.

A shoe with a straight last provides more support under the arch, which can help prevent plantar fasciitis.
