Plantar fasciitis is quite a common foot problem that affects many Australians. It is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a thick band of tissue that stretches all along the underside of the foot. This condition can cause a lot of pain and discomfort, making it difficult to even walk, let alone perform your daily activities. Fortunately, podiatry treatments can help alleviate the symptoms of plantar fasciitis and provide relief.
