What is plantar fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain resulting from inflammation of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes. It often causes sharp pain, especially with the first steps in the morning or after prolonged periods of rest.

What are the symptoms of plantar fasciitis?

Symptoms include sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, particularly noticeable during the first steps after waking up or after sitting for extended periods. The pain may decrease with movement but can return after long periods of standing or activity.

What causes plantar fasciitis?

Causes can include overuse, improper footwear, flat or high-arched feet, tight calf muscles, obesity, and sudden increases in physical activity. These factors can strain the plantar fascia, leading to inflammation and pain.

How is plantar fasciitis diagnosed?

Diagnosis is typically based on a physical examination and a review of your medical history. In some cases, imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI may be used to rule out other conditions.

What treatments are available for plantar fasciitis?

Treatments include rest, ice therapy, stretching exercises, orthotic devices, shockwave therapy, and in some cases, corticosteroid injections. Our podiatrists at JS Podiatry will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.

How can I prevent plantar fasciitis?

Preventative measures include wearing supportive footwear, maintaining a healthy weight, stretching your calves and plantar fascia regularly, and avoiding sudden increases in physical activity.

When should I see a podiatrist for heel pain?

If you experience persistent heel pain that doesn't improve with rest and home care, it's advisable to consult a podiatrist. Early intervention can prevent the condition from worsening and speed up recovery.
