What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

And why is your foot pain not getting better?

What are the symptoms of plantar fasciitis?

  • The main symptom of plantar fasciitis is pain under the heel, which can be dull or sharp. The foot sole may ache or burn and the heel may be slightly swollen.
  • The pain is often worse:
  • in the morning, as you take your first steps
  • after prolonged standing or sitting
  • after intense activity

What are the symptoms of plantar fasciitis?

  • Plantar fasciitis can be caused by:
  • playing sports and doing activities that put stress on the heel bone, such as running, dance and aerobics
  • being flat-footed or having high arches
  • being middle-aged or older
  • being overweight
  • Pregnancy
  • spending a lot of time on your feet
  • wearing shoes with poor arch support or stiff soles
  • having tight calf muscles

Our committed team use a very much hands on treatment approach to get you out of pain and back on the road to recovery.

This is likely to include foot mobilisation, which works to re-align the bones and joints to allow the foot to function more correctly, thereby relieving the strain on the muscles, tendons and ligaments.

Here at Podiatry Experts we are constantly investing in the latest technology to get the best possible results for our foot pain patients. Our plantar fasciitis program includes a detailed assessment of the way you walk and your current footwear. If appropriate, we may advise orthotics to help to support the biomechanics of your feet.

Here at The Podiatry Experts, we have invested in 3D scanned orthotics which are the most accurate and precise available on the market today.
