Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot. If you have it, you likely know the feeling: a sharp, stabbing heel pain that often strikes right as you take your first steps out of bed in the morning.

While the pain is in your heel, the root cause often isn't. When your feet, ankles, hips, or spine are out of proper alignment, it changes how your body distributes weight. This imbalance adds constant strain to your fascia. By understanding this full-body connection, we can help relieve the pressure and support your body's natural healing.
