Brief summary (from the registry)
Chronic plantar fasciitis (CPF) is the most common cause of chronic heel pain in adults, affecting both young active patients and older, more sedentary individuals. It results from chronic overload of the plantar fascia. This overload may be due to overuse, as seen in runners and military personnel, or due to excessive loading in individuals with obesity (body mass index \>30), sedentary lifestyles, or occupations that require prolonged standing.
