Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain
Intense heel pain during the first few morning steps caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia.
Understanding This Condition
The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue running across the bottom of the foot connecting heel to toes. Excessive standing, sudden running mileage increases, or improper footwear can cause micro-tears and chronic heel pain.
Hallmark Symptoms & Warning Signs
Stabbing heel pain with the very first steps in the morning
Heel pain after prolonged standing or walking on hard floors
Tightness in the Achilles tendon and calf muscles
How GG Physiotherapy Alleviates This
Ultrasound therapy, deep calf and fascia release, custom arch support guidance, and eccentric calf loading.
When to Seek Immediate Clinical Attention:
Seek treatment if heel pain lasts more than a week or alters your walking pattern.
Frequently Asked Questions
