Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of pain in the ball of the foot and heel. It is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot. Symptoms often include pain in the heel or arch of the foot, especially when first getting out of bed in the morning or after sitting for long periods of time.
