Of the many possible causes, plantar fasciitis is the most common cause and the search term most widely used when searching for Foot Pains online. The plantar fascia runs along the bottom of the foot to the heel. If you overstretch this tissue (stretching away from the heel), you get pain in arch of foot
Once other causes of heel pain have been considered, biomechanical support for the arches and fascia will often provide relief of symptoms. Surgical removal of a Heel Spur Treatment is seldom necessary, and is best avoided, since recovery sometimes requires 3-6 months (and occasionally even longer) to return to normal weight-bearing activities. 2 Recent studies have shown that the biomechanics of the foot are never the same after surgical release of the plantar fascia, 3 and that the loss of arch stability is particularly problematic for patients with flat feet. 1
