Heel Pain, Heel Spur, Plantar Fasciitis![]() This is an extremely common problem experienced by a wide variety of people. The most common cause for this problem is excessive rolling in of the feet (over pronation). When the feet roll inwards the arch collapses and the foot elongates. This elongation stretches all of the structures on the bottom of the foot (ligament, muscles and nerves) causing heel and arch pain. The plantar fascia is the main ligament on the underside of the foot. It runs form the heel to just behind the toes. The plantar fascia helps to keep the foot from spreading out and rolling in. When the foot is not properly aligned the bones of the foot unlock causing the foot to roll in. This places excess stretching stress on the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia alone is unable to maintain the arch contour and with overuse becomes painful and inflamed. With every step the foot pronates and elongates. This stretches the plantar fascia causing pain. Docpods orthotics align the foot in the most efficient functional position and maintain the arches of the foot.
