Heel pain is most common condition now days and the ratio of occurrence observed is 1 out of 10 people suffered once during their life period. There are so many conditions causing heel pain among that Plantar fasciitis is one which is having high prevalence rate. In Ayurveda Plantar fasciitis can be corelated with Vatakantaka. Walking on uneven surface and repeated injury leads to Vata prakopa due to that it develops pricking type of pain like thorn in heel region and ultimately leads to Vatakantaka.
