Conditions we treat
Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Surrey, BC
Those first stabbing steps out of bed are the signature of plantar fasciitis — one of the most treatable causes of heel pain.
What it feels like
- Sharp heel pain with the first steps in the morning or after sitting
- Pain that eases as you warm up, then returns after long standing or walking
- Tenderness where the heel meets the arch
Why it happens
The plantar fascia is the thick band supporting your arch. Repeated overload — a jump in activity, long hours standing, unsupportive footwear, tight calves — creates a stubborn, under-healing irritation at its attachment to the heel.
How we can help
We start by working out what's overloading your plantar fascia in the first place — footwear, activity, tightness or something else — because that shapes everything that follows. Your practitioner then builds a care plan around your specific case and reviews it as your heel responds. If yours is a stubborn case, they'll talk you through the options that might suit you.
