One of the most common reasons is plantar fasciitis — an inflammation of the thick tissue band that connects your heel to your toes. This pain usually hits hardest with your first steps in the morning or after sitting for a while.
While you sleep, your foot stays in a relaxed position. When you get up, that tissue stretches suddenly, causing tiny micro-tears — and that’s what brings the pain.
Ortho Fact
“Plantar fasciitis accounts for over 70% of heel pain cases in active adults.”
— American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
