Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. It occurs when the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that supports the arch—becomes overworked and develops small inflammatory tears from repeated strain. This often leads to sharp pain when taking your first steps after rest, as well as aching or burning discomfort during extended periods of standing or walking.

Nearby nerves may also become irritated, contributing to ongoing pain, and long-standing cases can sometimes lead to the development of heel spurs. Without treatment, plantar fasciitis can become persistent and limit daily activity. The good news is that we offer a range of effective options to reduce your heel pain, address the underlying cause, and support long-term recovery.

We treat heel pain using the latest technology and a wide range of evidence-based options. We tailor every treatment plan to the individual, selecting only the techniques that best address the underlying cause of your heel pain. Depending on your needs, this may include shockwave therapy, laser, prolotherapy, dry needling, corticosteroid injection (CSI), targeted stretching and strengthening, or orthotics when appropriate.
