Plantar fasciitis | Alexandria, Virginia
Plantar fasciitis can be treated with Foot Levelers custom orthotics, daily exercises and techniques. Also known as “heel pain syndrome,” plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, resulting from a gradual degeneration of the plantar fascia or sudden trauma to the area. Patients may describe the sensation as sharp stab or deep ache in the middle of the heel or along the bottom of the foot that typically occurs during walking or standing.Pain often occurs early in the morning, when taking your first few steps out of bed, or after other long periods of sitting/lying down/non-activity. As the foot naturally tightens at night, the fascia may gain new tears in the morning, initiating a painful cycle. Appearing in one heel or both, the condition tends to be chronic and can be difficult to heal without a combination of conservative treatments and persistence.Causes: Improper footwear Strenuous activity Obesity Over-pronation High arches or flat feet Poor shock absorption in
