What are Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia—a thick, supportive band of tissue connecting your heel bone to your toes—becomes irritated or inflamed. This condition is one of the most frequent causes of heel pain, particularly in adults who spend long periods standing, walking, or engaging in repetitive impact activities.
Pain often starts gradually as a sharp, stabbing sensation near the heel, especially during the first steps after waking up or after sitting for an extended period. Over time, untreated plantar fasciitis can become chronic and affect the way you walk, which may lead to issues in your knees, hips, or lower back.
At Narson‒Kassay Personalized HealthCare, we use natural, non-invasive therapies to address this condition at its source—reducing inflammation, restoring mobility, and helping you return to your daily activities without pain. Schedule an appointment to start your path toward lasting relief.
Common Causes of Plantar Fasciitis
Understanding the factors that contribute to plantar fasciitis is essential for effective treatment and prevention. In many cases, these causes can be addressed through personalized care, supportive footwear, and targeted therapies—without the need for surgery or long-term medication.
Foot structures that disrupt normal weight distribution can place excessive stress on the plantar fascia. Both flat feet and high arches alter the way your feet absorb impact, making inflammation more likely.
Prolonged Standing or Walking
Jobs or routines that require spending long hours on your feet—especially on hard surfaces—can overwork the plantar fascia and lead to microtears in the tissue.
Sports and exercises such as running, dancing, or high-intensity training can place repeated strain on the heel and arch, increasing the risk of irritation and pain.
Improper Footwear
Shoes without adequate cushioning or arch support fail to protect the plantar fascia from impact. Wearing worn-out or unsupportive shoes can worsen heel pain over time.
Tight Calf Muscles or Limited Ankle Flexibility
Reduced flexibility in the lower leg muscles can place added tension on the plantar fascia, making it more susceptible to injury.
Excess Body Weight
Carrying extra weight increases the load on your feet, particularly the heel and arch, which can intensify inflammation and discomfort.
Past injuries can alter your gait or foot mechanics, causing uneven stress on the plantar fascia and increasing the chance of recurring heel pain.
What Symptoms Does Plantar Fasciitis Cause?
Plantar fasciitis symptoms can range from mild discomfort to sharp pain that interferes with daily activities. For many people, the pain is most noticeable during the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest, but it can also return after prolonged standing or physical activity.
Common symptoms include:
- Sharp, stabbing pain at the bottom of the heel, often worse in the morning.
- Discomfort that improves with movement but returns after inactivity.
- Tenderness or swelling along the arch or heel.
- Tightness in the heel, arch, or calf muscles.
- Increased pain after exercise or long periods on your feet.
- Difficulty walking barefoot or climbing stairs without discomfort.
- A sensation of stiffness that makes it harder to move freely.
WHAT WE OFFER
What Are the Treatment Options for Plantar Fasciitis?
Are you searching for more than a temporary fix—something that treats the source of your pain rather than just masking it? At Narson-Kassay Personalized HealthCare, we design personalized treatment plans that combine science-based therapies with compassionate care.
Depending on your needs, your care plan may include:
Chiropractic Treatment
Gentle adjustments restore balance in the spine, hips, and lower extremities, improving function and reducing strain on the plantar fascia. Our goal is to help your body move the way it was meant to—freely and without pain.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to stimulate tissue repair, improve circulation, and decrease inflammation in the plantar fascia—supporting long-term healing without harmful side effects.
Stem Cell Therapy
Using advanced biologics such as Wharton’s Jelly, amniotic fluid, and A2M Therapy, this approach helps regenerate damaged tissue, promote repair, and enhance mobility for persistent heel pain.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes plantar fasciitis?
It often develops from repetitive stress on the plantar fascia due to flat feet, high arches, improper footwear, prolonged standing, or high-impact activities. Age, excess weight, and tight calf muscles can also contribute. Our doctors assess each patient’s foot mechanics and habits to find what’s behind their foot pain.
How can plantar fasciitis be treated?
We focus on non-invasive care such as chiropractic adjustments, targeted stretching, and advanced options like PRP, Stem Cell, and Peptide Therapy to reduce pain and promote healing. Physical therapy–based exercises may also help restore mobility and prevent recurrence.
What happens if plantar fasciitis is left untreated?
Over time, the severity can increase, and patients may experience pain that affects other joints from altered walking patterns. Treating it early helps reduce complications and speeds recovery.
How long does plantar fasciitis last?
With proper care, many patients improve in weeks or months. Chronic cases—especially when left untreated—may take longer to reduce pain and regain full function.
