No one enjoys being in pain, however, Plantar Heel Pain is one of the most common foot conditions affecting individuals.

Those who suffer from Plantar Heel Pain will likely discover daily pain and discomfort in their feet and heels, limited mobility, an impact on their work and daily activities, disturbances to their sleep, and possibly an emotional impact. It is therefore important to treat Plantar Heel Pain as soon as possible to avoid detrimental effects to an individual's health and quality of life.

So, let’s look at the causes, effects, and treatment for Plantar Heel Pain:

What is Plantar Heel Pain

What is Plantar Heel Pain?

Plantar Heel Pain is a condition that affects the ligament that connects the heel to the front of the foot and is responsible for supporting the arch. This ligament lies directly beneath the skin on the bottom of the foot, and through tension and stress can become torn.

What Causes Plantar Heel Pain?

The most common cause of Plantar Heel Pain is Plantar Fasciitis. Plantar Fasciitis refers to the band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the base of the toes. Through excessive stress, this band of tissue becomes inflamed and weakened, causing subsequent heel pain. This can affect anyone; from the doctor spending long hours on their feet, the athlete training for a marathon, the waiter tending to customers all day to the mailman walking miles delivering letters.

Here are some of the believed causes of Plantar Fasciitis:

  • Prolonged standing
  • Uncomfortable footwear
  • Excessive physical activity
  • Obesity
  • Limited foot strength

  • Cushioning plantar heel pads pads at the heel and forefoot of the sock have a supporting effect on the stretched arch of the foot
  • Supportive plantar heel pads add gentle compression to the toes, soles and ankles of feet to help blood flow, reduce inflammation and prevent pain
  • Specially designed foot pads and soft forefoot cushion absorb pressure peaks
  • The pressure on the big toe is reduced towards the other toes, and prevents the big toe from pulling outwards
  • The thinned fatty tissue under the sole of the foot is replaced by the soft forefoot cushioning within the socks
  • Provide shock absorption to spread pressure around the feet and ankles
  • Supportive pads lift and cushion the metatarsal bones, enabling your foot into its natural, healthy position to help prevent pain when you perform physical activities, including intense exercise and daily tasks
