Understanding the condition
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of each foot and connects the heel bone to the toes. This condition typically causes a stabbing sensation during the first steps in the morning or after long periods of standing. Addressing the underlying mechanical causes of the strain is essential for providing a solution that prevents the pain from returning.
Effective treatment and recovery
The key to recovering from plantar fasciitis is reducing inflammation while supporting the arch of the foot. Our podiatrists use a combination of modern technology and proven clinical techniques to speed up your recovery and provide long-term relief. Your personalized treatment plan may include:
- Shockwave therapy to stimulate healing in the damaged tissue
- Custom orthotics to provide arch support and redistribute pressure
- Dry needling to release tension in the surrounding calf and foot muscles
- Taping and strapping for immediate support during the acute phase of pain
- Strengthening programs designed to improve your foot mechanics and resilience
