Abstract

One in ten persons have heel pain at some point in their lives, making it the most prevalent condition today. There are numerous conditions that can cause heel discomfort, with plantar fasciitis having a high occurrence rate. Plantar fasciitis can be correlated with Vatakantaka in Ayurveda. Walking on an uneven surface and suffering repeated injuries can result in aggravation of vatadosha, which causes prickling sensation similar to a thorn in the area of the heel and finally leads to vatakantaka. This is the scant evidence in favour of the conventional management techniques for plantar fasciitis (Vatakantaka).
