Planter Fasciitis Treatment Facility in New York

1. Planter Fasciitis Treatment Facility in New York 6080 Jericho Turnpike Suite 305 Commack, NY 11725 Office: (631) 248-3111 Are you suffering from heel pain? The heel of the foot contains a thick, bow-shaped band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot and connects to your heel bones and toes, also called the plantar fascia. This is also the area that supports the arch of the foot and absorbs shock when you walk, jump, or do any regular work. The fascia gets so strained and tight that it becomes weakened, which can restrict your life by a significant amount. Ignoring plantar fasciitis can not only result in chronic heel pain, but it can also eventually lead to severe disability, which can hinder you from performing normal activities. Plantar fasciitis presents itself in various ways, including: Intense, sharp, or burning pain in or near the heel of the foot Increased heel pain after you stand from sitting or after standing for a long time Heel pain that makes it difficult to stand on the affected foot, which can make it difficult to walk, especially when taking your first steps of the day Heel pain following physical activity A warming sensation, swelling, and tenderness on the bottom of the foot It can also worsen after sitting or standing for long periods, which can also make it difficult to move around. You may also find yourself having to wear shoes more often, especially when walking on hard surfaces, which can deprive you of comfort. As a leading Plantar Fasciitis Massage Therapist, I can use deep tissue massage to reach below the muscle tissues to loosen and relax tight, constricted ligaments, tendons, and the fascia using a series of deliberate, slow strokes designed to help relieve pain. It also helps in reviving the tissues back to their original shape and position, which helps stabilize the entire foot.
