What Is Plantar Fasciitis?</h3
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue running across the bottom of your foot that connects your heel bone to your toes. Repetitive strain causes micro-tears in this ligament-like band, leading to severe arch and heel pain, particularly during initial weight-bearing steps.
<h3Common Symptoms</h3
Stabbing pain at the bottom of the heel during the first morning steps · Heel stiffness that eases after moving around, but returns after long sitting periods · Dull arch ache following long periods of standing or exercise · Tenderness when pressing directly underneath the heel center
<h3Our Treatment Approach</h3
Biomechanical gait & arch profile assessment → custom functional orthotics to support arch structure → structured physical therapy & plantar fascia stretching protocols → specialized night splints → advanced anti-inflammatory therapies for chronic non-responsive cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to recover from plantar fasciitis?
With consistent use of custom orthotics, stretching exercises, and supportive footwear, most patients experience significant pain relief within 4 to 8 weeks.
Can wearing flat footwear worsen plantar fasciitis?
Yes. Wearing completely flat, unsupportive shoes (like flip-flops or thin sandals) increases tension on the plantar fascia, worsening inflammation and heel pain.
