1. Home Bookings About Meet the Team Treatments Contact Us Book an appointment Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Spurs Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia, a strong band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot, becomes irritated and inflamed. What causes Plantar Fasciitis? The plantar fascia is designed to absorb the high stresses and strains we place on our feet. Unfortunately, sometimes too much pressure can damage or tear the tissue. The body's natural response to injury is inflammation, which results in the heel pain and stiffness of plantar fasciitis. How do we treat Plantar Fasciitis? Generally, the longer the symptoms are present, the more severe the pain and the longer treatment may take. Plantar Fasciitis treatments include: • Stretching • Physical therapy • Orthotics • Shock wave therapy How do I book an appointment?
