Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain
Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain
Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain Treatment
Heel pain can be sharp, stubborn, and surprisingly disruptive. If you're feeling it first thing in the morning or after long days on your feet, you might be dealing with plantar fasciitis — one of the most common causes of heel pain. At Dr. Maddy Walkner’s practice, we go beyond temporary relief to fix the way your foot moves and supports you, so the pain doesn’t keep coming back.
Common Causes of Heel Pain We Treat:
Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the thick band of tissue along the bottom of the foot — often felt as stabbing pain in the heel, especially with your first steps of the day.
Heel Spurs: Bony growths that develop due to stress and inflammation.
Tendonitis: Irritation of the Achilles tendon or surrounding soft tissue.
Flat feet or poor foot mechanics: Can strain the heel and plantar fascia.
Overuse or improper footwear: Especially common in runners and people who stand for long periods.
