A common cause of plantar fasciitis plantar fasciitis is collagen degeneration at the start of the plantar fascia. This is at the heel bone or calcaneus. The arches or tendons under the foot join on to the heel at this point. A loss of collagen and calcium fragments (or fibroblasts) are all typical of plantar plantar fasciitis fasciitis .

The cause of the degeneration is repetitive micro-tears of the plantar fascia and the body’s inability to repair itself.Small tearing of the arches, at the point where the arch joins the heel, are healed by the body by placing calcium over the tears.

Plantar Fasciitis may be caused by excessive weight, or rapid weight change. For a woman, pregnancy and wearing unsupportive footwear can trigger Plantar Fasciitis.
