The arches or tendons under the foot join on to the heel at this point. A loss of collagen and calcium fragments (or fibroblasts) are all typical of plantar plantar fasciitis fasciitis .

The cause of the degeneration is repetitive micro-tears of the plantar fascia and the body’s inability to repair itself.Small tearing of the arches, at the point where the arch joins the heel, are healed by the body by placing calcium over the tears.
