Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is inflammation or injury of the thick band of tissue that runs lengthwise on the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes (plantar fascia). Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your first steps in the morning. As you get up and move more, the pain normally decreases, but it might return after long periods of standing or after rising from sitting. If left untreated, it can become more and more debilitating.

Treatment Plan

The treatment we use for this condition is most often in the form of medical massage/ trigger point therapy and deep tissue laser therapy. This condition generally takes 4-6 weeks to resolve when proper treatment and self-care are followed. The doctor may treat you from 1-4x per week according to the severity and history of the condition.
