Your plantar fascia is the thick, durable, fibrous connective tissue that spans across your arch and links your forefoot to your heel bone. Plantar fasciitis occurs when this tissue becomes chronically inflamed. Common causes include:
Plantar fasciitis is well-known for causing sharp heel pain and mid-foot discomfort near the arches. This unique pain typically peaks after long periods of inactivity, such as sleeping or sitting at a desk. During a flare-up, you may experience:
While symptoms often fade as you move and the tissue stretches, intense physical activity can trigger agonizing pain shortly after your session is complete. Our podiatrists provide comprehensive diagnostic testing to determine the most effective treatment for your needs.
In the vast majority of cases, conservative treatments provide significant relief. Your podiatrist at San Juan Health Partners Foot and Ankle will find the best combination of therapies for your unique needs, which may include:
If conservative therapies are not enough, surgery may be necessary. Our surgeons use minimally invasive measures to release the plantar fascia, remove bone spurs, or lengthen the calf muscle to provide lasting relief.
