If your first steps in the morning feel like walking on glass, you're not alone.
Plantar fasciitis LOVES spring because:
→ People go from couch to trails too quickly
→ Winter compensation patterns finally catch up
→ Old shoes + new mileage = inflamed tissue
WHAT IS IT?
Inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot. Causes stabbing pain, especially with those first morning steps or after sitting.
WHY IT WON'?T GO AWAY ON ITS OWN:
That tissue isn't getting adequate blood flow to heal naturally. Rest might reduce pain temporarily, but it comes roaring back the moment you increase activity.
HOW WE TREAT IT:
✓ Shockwave therapy to break up scar tissue and stimulate healing
✓ TECAR to boost circulation where it's needed most
✓ Biomechanical assessment to fix the WHY
✓ Active recovery so you keep moving while healing
Most patients see significant improvement in 4-6 weeks. No cortisone shots. No boot. No months of limping around.
Don't let heel pain ruin your spring. Let's fix it.
