👣 What is one of the most common conditions we see at Okaped???? You guessed it, Plantar Fasciitis!

If those first steps out of bed feel like you’re walking on a thumbtack or pain increases the longer you are on your feet, you’re not alone.

Why it happens:
✔ Overuse or long hours on your feet
✔ Flat feet or high arches
✔ Tight calves
✔ Worn-out or unsupportive footwear
✔ Sudden increases in activity
✔ Plus many other reasons

Recovery can involve many different directions:
– Custom-made orthotics designed to reduce strain on the plantar fascia
– Proper footwear recommendations to stabilize and support your foot
– Targeted bracing options when extra control is needed
– Stretching and mobility guidance from our expert team
– Personalized treatment plans tailored to your lifestyle

Foot pain isn’t something you have to “just deal with.” At OKAPED, we help you walk, work, run, and live pain-free again.
