It is a painful condition in the heels of the feet (it can affect one only). It has something to do with layers of tissue moving over one another. Usually the movement is free; when the fascia (tissue layers) move less freely, it can cause a very bad dull pain. I had this in my left heel, and it could be so bad in the morning that I would have to limp. Acupuncture was very effective. I had 3 treatments a few months ago, and have been almost totally pain free since. I didn't much care for the treatments as they were being done, but I would go back in a heartbeat. Plantar Fasciitis is a very common cause of heel pain. It is inflammation of the plantar fascia of the foot. It causes heel pain which may radiate to the toes. It can occur as a result of repetitive microtrauma. It's an overuse injury. Plantar fasciitis is commonly caused by a heel spur which is a bony growth that occurs at the attachment of the plantar fascia to calcaneum. for details, visit,http://physiocures.blogspot.com
