Abstract: Plantar fasciitis is a disorder that results in pain in the heel and bottom of the foot [1]. Pain is usually most severe with the first steps of the day or following a period of rest [2]. Pain is also frequently brought on by bending the foot and toes up towards the shin and may be worsened by a tight Achilles tendon [3]. The condition typically progresses slowly. In about a third of people both legs are affected [1]. Typically there are no fevers or night sweats.
