Heel Pain? It Could Be Plantar Fasciitis
Heel pain is one of the most common foot problems and can make everyday activities uncomfortable. Many people who lead active lifestyles or spend long hours on their feet experience this condition. One of the leading causes of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, which occurs when the plantar fascia — the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot and connects the heel bone to the toes — becomes inflamed.
Common Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis • Sharp or stabbing pain in the heel
• Pain that is worse with the first steps in the morning
• Heel discomfort after standing or walking for long periods
How Orthotics Can Help
Custom orthotics are specialized shoe inserts designed to support the arch of the foot, improve alignment, and reduce strain on the plantar fascia. By properly distributing pressure across the foot, orthotics can help relieve pain, promote healing, and prevent the condition from worsening.
