Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Get Back on Your Feet With Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
If you’ve stepped out of bed and felt a sharp pain in your heel, you’re not alone. That stabbing discomfort in the sole of your foot is one of the tell-tale signs of plantar fasciitis, a common but frustrating cause of heel pain. It can make walking to the kettle, standing at work, or going for a run far more difficult than it should be. But the good news is, with the right plantar fasciitis treatment, most people recover fully and get back to moving comfortably.
Common symptoms include:
- Sharp heel pain, especially first thing in the morning
- Stiffness in the arch of your foot
- Discomfort that eases with gentle movement but returns after rest
Plantar fasciitis happens when the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that runs along the sole of your foot becomes irritated or damaged. It’s a key part of your foot’s natural arch support system, and it takes a lot of strain with every step you take. Treatment focuses on easing pain, restoring foot mechanics, and helping you get back to the activities you love.
How Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Can Help
Plantar fasciitis treatment works by easing pain, improving foot movement, and stopping the problem from returning. It might include hands-on therapy, tailored exercises, or simple changes to footwear or walking habits. For persistent cases, we may recommend shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis to support healing progress. This is a highly effective treatment that stimulates healing and speeds up recovery.
Heel pain can feel relentless, especially when it’s stopping you doing things you enjoy or need to do. That’s why our approach looks at the whole picture. We don’t just treat the sore spot, we assess your movement, strength, walking pattern, and lifestyle factors that may be contributing.
Your therapist will take the time to understand your goals, whether that’s walking the dog, getting through a shift at work, or enjoying a run. Your treatment plan is built around you, with expert support at every stage.
And because we want you to stay pain-free long after your sessions are done, we equip you with practical tools, advice, and exercises you can use at home.
