Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes stabbing pain in the heel and arch of the foot. This discomfort can make walking and standing difficult, impacting daily activities.
At Bucks Podiatry, our team recognises the significance of prompt diagnosis and the implementation of effective treatment strategies to address plantar fasciitis. Timely intervention can help prevent the condition from worsening, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
We are committed to providing comprehensive care and tailored treatment plans to alleviate your symptoms and support your overall foot health.
What is plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is a common issue that causes heel discomfort. It occurs when the thick band of tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes, known as the plantar fascia, becomes inflamed.
Causes of plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is caused by overuse and stress on the feet. This can happen from:
  • standing for long periods
  • playing sports
  • exercising on hard surfaces
  • not stretching before exercising
  • wearing unsupportive shoes
  • walking barefoot at home
  • having high arches
  • flat feet
  • gaining significant weight
Symptoms of plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis commonly causes symptoms such as:
  • heel pain
  • arch pain
  • stiffness
  • swelling around the heel
  • tight Achilles tendon.
The pain may vary throughout the day and with different activities, such as standing up after sitting or sleeping, and may include dull aches or sharp, stabbing pains.
