Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis Treatment In North York
It is a common foot condition characterized by inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel bone to your toes. This condition often results in stabbing pain near the heel, particularly when taking the first steps in the morning or after prolonged periods of rest.
The pain usually improves with movement but can return after long periods of standing or activity. Plantar Fasciitis can be caused by a variety of factors, including overuse, wearing improper footwear, having high arches or flat feet, obesity, or engaging in activities that put stress on the feet.
Treatment typically involves rest, stretching exercises, wearing supportive footwear or orthotics, applying ice to the affected area, and in severe cases, corticosteroid injections or physical therapy. If left untreated, the condition can lead to chronic heel pain and affect one’s ability to carry out daily activities comfortably.
