🥾 Heel pain when you wake up? That sharp stab with your first few steps could be plantar fasciitis, and it's more common than you think.
Here’s what might be going on 👇
🔹 Tiny tears in the tissue from long hours on your feet
🔹 Pain from running or bad shoes
🔹 Inflammation in the band that supports your foot arch
If left alone, it can mess with how you walk, and even lead to hip, knee, or back pain.
Some things that really help:
✅ Stretching your calves and foot
✅ Wearing proper supportive shoes
✅ Night splints while you sleep
✅ Hands-on therapy & advanced treatments like shockwave
👉 But first things first: Getting the right diagnosis at Foot and Ankle Specialty Centers is key.
