Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis can affect individuals of any age. It causes a sharp pain in the bottom of the heel that is most often noticed at first step in the morning, or after periods of sitting down.
With prolonged activity it can cause aching or burning in the bottom of the heel.

Our Podiatrists at Berwick Podiatry help individuals with Plantar Fasciitis nearly every day. We place great importance in developing a management plan that addresses your individual factors that are contributing to the injury.

This involves a comprehensive assessment of your gait (walking style), foot posture, footwear, activities undertaken and medical history. With this information we can work towards rehabilitation of the injury.

Common treatments include footwear modification, stretching and strengthening exercises, massage, taping, foot orthotic therapy, and dry needling. We may also refer you for other treatment options.
In summary, every case is unique and your treatment plan will vary depending on the outcome of your assessment.

It is possible that you may be suffering from a different cause of heel pain as there are many conditions that can cause heel pain. This is discussed HERE
