Plantar Fasciitis
01 Plantar Fasciitis Meaning
Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs are commonly lumped together when patients are discussing their heel pain but they are not the same condition. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue surrounding the muscles of the sole of the foot and running from the heel to the ball of the foot. On the other hand, a heel spur is a soft, bendable deposit of calcium on the calcaneus or heel bone. While about 70% of patients with plantar fasciitis have heel spurs as well, 50% of patients with heel spurs do not have pain.
