Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Do you feel a sharp, stabbing pain in your heel with your first steps in the morning? That pain is a classic sign of Plantar Fasciitis. Many people in our Meridian community think it will just go away on its own. But it often gets worse. Simple things like walking your dog around the neighborhood or shopping for groceries can become a painful chore. We offer a real solution with our Plantar Fasciitis Treatment.

Plantar fasciitis is a common problem that one in 10 people will experience in their lifetime. About 2 million Americans receive treatment for plantar fasciitis yearly. It accounts for more than 1 million US clinic visits per year and is most common in those between 40 and 60 years of age.

What Is This Heel Pain?

Your plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot. It connects your heel bone to your toes. When it gets inflamed, you have Plantar Fasciitis. This can happen from standing too long, running, or even wearing the wrong shoes. It is a common problem for many active people in the Boise area.

The pain is usually worst with the first few steps after awakening, although it can also be triggered by long periods of standing or when you get up after sitting. The pain is usually worse after exercise, not during it.

Understanding the anatomy of plantar fasciitis is the first step to effective treatment.
