Plantar Fasciitis and Bone Spurs


Overview and Facts about Plantar Fasciitis and Bone Spurs

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of pain on the bottom of the foot and occurs when the plantar fascia becomes inflamed. The plantar fascia is a ligament – or a band of supportive tissue – that connects the heel to the front of the foot. An estimated two million people are treated for plantar fasciitis each year.

Bone spurs are another cause of pain on the bottom of the foot. Bone spurs result from calcium deposits creating a bony extension on the underside of the heel bone. Although bone spurs and plantar fascia are related, a person can suffer from one without having the other. Both of these are classified as an orthopaedic condition.
