Plantar fasciitis is a painful ailment caused by the sudden stretching and tearing of the ligament connecting the heel bone to the toes. This will cause the ligament to swell and will therefore cause pain on the bottom of the foot. The doctor may prescribe medicine, such as over-the-counter anti-inflammatory meds or cortisone shots; however, there is a cheaper solution that works just as well as the prescribed drugs, called arch supports. An arch support will provide maximum comfort and support to the arches of the foot, therefore reducing the weight on your heels and helping the shoes fit better. With this footwear, you can walk normally and even run without much pain.
