Plantar fasciitis is a condition that occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, becomes inflamed or irritated. This tissue supports the arch of the foot and absorbs shock during movement. Overuse, poor footwear, or activities that place repetitive stress on the foot can cause tiny tears in the fascia, leading to pain and stiffness.
Ankle sprains and strains are common injuries that occur when the ligaments or muscles around the ankle are overstretched or torn. A sprain involves damage to the ligaments, which connect bones to stabilize the joint, while a strain affects the muscles or tendons. These injuries typically happen during activities that involve sudden twisting, rolling, or awkward landings, making them frequent in sports and everyday activities.
Neuropathy in the feet is a condition caused by damage to the nerves that transmit signals between the brain, spinal cord, and feet. It can result from diabetes, injuries, infections, or exposure to toxins, but it may also stem from issues in the lower back, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression. When nerves in the lumbar spine are compressed or irritated, they can cause pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates into the feet, mimicking or contributing to peripheral neuropathy.
