Plantar Fasciitis

Take the First Step Toward Heel Pain Relief

If every step out of bed is painful, you're not alone. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain and can make walking, exercising, working, and enjoying everyday activities difficult.

Our goal is to identify the cause of your pain and create a personalized, non-surgical treatment plan to help reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and get you back on your feet.

Common Symptoms

• Sharp pain in the bottom of the heel
• Pain with the first steps in the morning
• Heel pain after prolonged sitting
• Pain after standing or walking for long periods
• Tightness in the arch or calf
• Pain that improves with movement but returns later in the day

What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

The plantar fascia is a thick band of connective tissue that supports the arch of your foot. Repetitive stress, overuse, poor biomechanics, tight calf muscles, improper footwear, or sudden increases in activity can lead to irritation and degeneration of this tissue.

Risk factors include:

• Prolonged standing
• Running or high-impact activities
• Flat feet or high arches
• Tight calf muscles
• Poor footwear
• Excess body weight

Our Comprehensive Approach

Following a thorough evaluation, your personalized treatment plan may include:

• Comprehensive foot and gait assessment
• Storz radial or focused shockwave therapy (when appropriate)
• Apollo Class IV laser therapy
• Manual therapy and soft tissue treatment
• Stretching and mobility exercises
