Heel pain that just won’t shift? 👣 It could be plantar fasciitis…
This is one of the most common causes of foot pain — and it often starts when the plantar fascia (the thick band supporting your arch) becomes overloaded or irritated. Left unchecked, it can linger and impact how you move day to day.
🔍 Could this be you?
• Sharp pain in the heel with your first steps in the morning
• Pain that eases as you move… then returns after being on your feet
• Tenderness when pressing into the inside of your heel
• Tight calves or reduced ankle mobility
If this sounds familiar, it’s worth getting it checked — early diagnosis helps rule out other causes and speeds up recovery.
💡 Why not ignore it?
Ongoing plantar fasciitis can become chronic, changing the way you walk and potentially leading to further aches and pains elsewhere in the body.
✨ How we can help
A tailored, evidence-based approach may include:
• Osteopathic treatment to address movement and load issues
• Shockwave therapy to stimulate healing in stubborn cases
• Acupuncture to ease pain and improve circulation
• Targeted rehab exercises to build strength and resilience
The goal? Not just short-term relief — but long-term results.
