Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, often causing sharp discomfort with the first steps in the morning. Dr. Sanjay Rawat provides effective plantar fasciitis treatment in Indore to relieve pain and restore comfortable walking.

About Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue connecting the heel to the toes, called the plantar fascia, becomes inflamed due to repetitive strain or excessive tension. It is common among runners, people who stand for long periods, and those with flat feet or high arches. While the pain can be significant, plantar fasciitis usually responds well to a consistent conservative treatment program over several weeks to months.

Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

• Sharp heel pain, especially with the first steps in the morning
• Pain that improves with activity but returns after rest
• Tenderness along the bottom of the heel
• Pain that worsens after prolonged standing
• Stiffness in the arch of the foot

Causes of Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

• Repetitive stress from running or standing
• Tight calf muscles and Achilles tendon
• Flat feet or excessively high arches
• Sudden increase in activity level
• Unsupportive footwear

Diagnosis

• Clinical examination with palpation of the plantar fascia
• Assessment of foot arch and biomechanics
