Heel Pain (Plantar Fasciitis)
Heel pain, often caused by plantar fasciitis, is one of the most common foot complaints. It results from inflammation of the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) that connects your heel bone to your toes. Patients usually feel stabbing pain in the heel, especially in the morning or after long periods of standing.
General Treatment Options
Stretching, rest, ice, supportive shoes, and over-the-counter inserts can ease symptoms. Physical therapy, night splints, or corticosteroid injections may be recommended for persistent pain.
Our Approach at Sole Vista Podiatry
We begin with a biomechanical assessment to identify contributing factors like arch height or gait issues. Treatment may include custom orthotics, shockwave therapy, stretching regimens, and inflammation control. Our goal is long-term relief, not temporary fixes.
