CAN YOU CATCH PLANTAR FASCIITIS?
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is not a contagious condition. It is a foot disorder that involves inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. Plantar fasciitis is typically caused by overuse, strain, or injury to the plantar fascia. It is not something that can be transmitted from person to person like a contagious illness.
Plantar fasciitis (PLAN-tur fas-e-I-tis) is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of each foot and connects the heel bone to the toes, known as the plantar fascia.
Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that often occurs with your first steps in the morning. As you get up and move, the pain normally decreases, but it might return after long periods of standing or when you stand up after sitting.
Plantar fasciitis is extremely common. More than 2 million people in the U.S. are treated for it each year. Around 1 in 10 people will develop plantar fasciitis at some point throughout their life.
If you’re experiencing foot pain or suspect plantar fasciitis, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Call and schedule an appointment with our Chicago podiatrists at 773-769-3310. Our podiatrists can provide a proper diagnosis based on your symptoms, medical history, and potentially recommend imaging studies or other diagnostic tests to identify the underlying cause and determine the appropriate treatment.
