Understanding Plantar Fasciitis: What European Patients Need to Know
Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue connecting your heel bone to your toes. This condition is particularly common in European urban environments due to:

Symptoms & Diagnosis: European Medical Standards
Primary Symptoms Include:
- Sharp heel pain, especially in the morning
- Pain after prolonged sitting or standing
- Increased discomfort after exercise
- Tenderness along the arch of the foot
When to Consult a European Healthcare Provider
Under European healthcare systems (NHS, Sécurité Sociale, Gesundheitswesen), seek medical attention if:
- Pain persists for more than 2 weeks
- Severe pain interferes with daily activities
- Numbness or tingling occurs
- Pain worsens despite rest
