Chances are you’re already familiar with the foot condition plantar fasciitis, but may not know about the less commonly used term plantar fasciosis. Many of the symptoms of the conditions are similar, but there is an important difference clinically.

The term plantar fasciosis refers to the stretching, gradual tearing, and overall degeneration of the plantar fascia tendon that runs along the bottom of the foot from the ball of the foot to the heel bone. Plantar fasciitis, however, typically refers to the inflammation of the plantar fascia and is the more widely known term.

Overall, medical research typically agrees that the term plantar fasciosis is more appropriate for the condition since it describes the degeneration of the plantar fascia tendon. Since inflammation is more characteristic of short term pain, and plantar fasciosis is often a persisting condition, degeneration is the more realistic cause of pain.

Given that the term plantar fasciitis is concerned with inflammation, treatments often center on reducing inflammation in the tendon. But when we see the pain in the tendon as degenerative plantar fasciosis, you may need more long term, corrective treatments to eliminate pain.
