Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel and arch discomfort and involves irritation of the plantar fascia — the thick band of connective tissue that runs from the toes to the heel bone. Excessive foot rolling (overpronation) can place added strain on this tissue, which may contribute to inflammation over time.

Sometimes referred to as heel spur syndrome, plantar fasciitis is often managed with conservative approaches such as stretching, supportive footwear or orthotics, activity modification, and other non-surgical therapies.

In cases where symptoms persist, advanced options such as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) may be considered as part of a personalized treatment plan.

Always consult your physician before starting or changing any treatment.

TESTIMONIAL

My experience at Laurel Foot & Ankle Center was great. When I arrived the waiting room was packed and I thought to myself: “I will be here all day.” But to my surprise I got put into a room within 8 minutes of me sitting down. They were very fast! I was greeted by a very insightful doctor, Dr. Smith, who knew exactly how to help with my heel problem. I would definitely recommend to anyone with foot problems!
