Perhaps the most common complain we see here at Vancouver Orthotics; Plantar Fasciitis can
be a chronic painful inflammatory condition caused by excessive strain
to the "plantar fascia" (bottom fibrous tissue) of the foot. This pain
may be felt in the heel or the arch itself. Typically the patient
experiences immediate morning pain right out of bed, consistent pain
throughout the day, or pain at the end of the night after a full day at
work or on your feet.
The plantar fascia is a thick fibrous band of connective tissue originating on
the bottom surface of the calcaneus (heel bone) and extending along the sole of
the foot towards the five toes.
Dr. Michael Horowitz offers a 5-Step process to successfully treating this condition. He can help evaluate & diagnose your condition and recommend the best course of action for you. Call Vancouver Orthotics at 604-737-3668 for more information.
The cause of plantar fasciitis
can be from a specific trauma to the foot or from chronic repetitive
strain often associated with the flat overly pronated foot. Pain is
usually felt on the underside of the heel, inside more often than
outside of the arch, and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. It is commonly associated with long periods of weight bearing.
Plantar fasciitis can be successfully treatment with the support of custom orthotic inserts.
