If your heel hurts when you take your first steps out of bed, it may be a sign of plantar fasciitis.
During sleep, the ligament supporting your arch tightens.
When you take your first steps in the morning, the ligament suddenly stretches.
This is why heel pain often feels most intense when the day begins.
The encouraging news is that non-surgical treatment highly resolves plantar fasciitis when addressed early.
Ignoring it only allows the problem to progress.
