The plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common pathology that manifests itself as pain in the foot, particularly in the heel and arch (a structure on the inside of the foot made up of ligaments, tendons and muscles).
It results from inflammation of the connective tissue that extends from the heel to the forefoot, playing an essential role in supporting the arch, responsible for shock absorption and foot flexibility.

Testimonial
Madame Kalim is a 59 year old woman who sells her wares at Lome’s main market and she has been suffering from plantar fasciitis on her right foot for 3 years. Following a medical diagnosis, she underwent medical treatment with no real outcome. After her consultation at the physiotherapy center, she underwent physiotherapy sessions and needs a night splint. Until now, she hadn’t been able to afford one. OADCPH’s donation of a night splint ankle brace is a real relief for her.
