This frustrating condition occurs when the thick band of tissue supporting your foot arch becomes inflamed or damaged, often leaving patients dreading those first steps out of bed each morning. Persistent standing, overweight, excess foot pronation, jogging, and poor ankle dorsiflexion are some risk factors that damage the plantar fascia, meaning it can affect everyone from marathon runners to office workers who spend long hours on their feet. Our experienced team understands how limiting this condition can be to your daily activities and overall quality of life.ย
Evidence shows that plantar fasciitis is nowadays treated with a wide variety of traditional methods, such as splints, oral and injectable anti-inflammatory drugs, therapeutic taping, manual therapy, foot orthoses, calf stretching and recent guidelines emphasize that clinicians should use manual therapy directed at the joints and soft tissue structures of the lower extremity to address relevant joint and flexibility restrictions, decrease pain, and improve function.ย
Using our comprehensive hands-on approach combined with advanced treatments including shockwave therapy, targeted steroid injections, and biomechanical assessment, we’re committed to addressing not just your symptoms but the underlying causes – because taking those pain-free first steps should never be something you have to think twice about.
