What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation or irritation of the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) that connects your heel to your toes. It’s often caused by:
Overuse from walking, running, or standing
Poor foot biomechanics
Tight calf or hamstring muscles
Unsupportive footwear
Changes in activity levels or surface types
The pain typically presents as a stabbing or aching sensation in the heel, especially first thing in the morning or after long periods of rest.
How We Treat Plantar Fasciitis at MDOsteo
We take a comprehensive approach to heel pain, combining hands-on osteopathic treatment with advanced technology and modern therapies.
1. Osteopathy
Our osteopaths use manual techniques to relieve tension in the foot, ankle, calf, and hip. This can reduce strain on the plantar fascia and improve the way forces are absorbed when walking or running.
2. Shockwave Therapy
For more persistent cases, shockwave therapy may be recommended. This non-invasive treatment uses sound waves to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue repair in the plantar fascia.
3. 3D Gait Analysis
Using our gait analysis system, we assess how you walk and stand to uncover any imbalances or compensations that may be contributing to your foot pain. This allows us to tailor your rehab and footwear advice for long-term results.
What to Expect in Your Assessment
During your initial consultation, we will:
Take a full history of your symptoms and activity levels
Perform a biomechanical and postural assessment
Use gait analysis tools (if needed) to evaluate walking and weight distribution
Test flexibility and strength in related areas such as calves, ankles, and hips
Provide a clear diagnosis and outline of your treatment plan
