Do You Suffer From These Common Plantar Fasciitis Symptoms?
Are you experiencing:
- Sharp pain in your heel when you take your first steps in the morning?
- Discomfort in your foot after standing for long periods or after exercising?
- Stiffness or soreness in your foot after resting or sitting?
- Pain that worsens after walking, running, or engaging in physical activity?
If you answered “yes” to any of these, you may be dealing with Plantar Fasciitis—a common condition that affects millions of adults.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel bone to your toes. When the
plantar fascia becomes over-stressed or strained, it develops small tears, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness—especially in the heel area. This condition is particularly common in adults who are active, spend long hours on their feet, or wear
unsupportive footwear.
How We Can Help
At General Foot Care, our highly skilled podiatrists specialise in diagnosing and treating plantar fasciitis. We begin with a thorough foot examination using advanced tools like the podoscope, which allows us to assess your foot posture and identify pressure points. We’ll also evaluate your gait, joint alignment, and overall biomechanics to understand the root cause of your pain.
Tailored Treatment Plans
Once we pinpoint the exact cause of your plantar fasciitis, our podiatrist will create a personalised treatment plan designed to:
- Relieve your pain and reduce inflammation
- Improve your foot alignment and biomechanics
- Prevent the condition from returning
Treatment may include a combination of custom orthotics, posture correction, physical therapy, and guidance on proper footwear. Our goal is to not only eliminate your symptoms but to help you stay active and pain-free in the long run.
