Plantar fasciitis and heel spur syndrome result from inflammation of the ligament like tissue (the fascia) that stretches from the base of the toes, across the arch of the foot, to a point on the bottom of the heel bone. It is sometimes associated with a heel spur, in which case it is called "heel spur syndrome." The condition can usually be successfully treated with conservative measures such as use of anti-inflammatory medications and ice packs, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and physical therapy. If the condition does not clear up after six months of these treatments, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy may be considered.

Sharp pain, aching or stiffness on the bottom of one or both heels is a very common ailment. The pain is often at its worst upon awakening in the morning (or after sitting down for an extended period and then resuming activity), causing hobbling or limping for a few minutes before a comfortable stride can be resumed. As weight continues to be applied during walking or standing, mild or severe pain may persist.
