What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue, the plantar fascia, that runs across the bottom of the foot becomes inflamed. This then creates a stabbing pain when a person first starts walking during the day. As the day goes on, the pain usually decreases but can return.
At Health in Balance, we are dedicated to relieving pain caused by plantar fasciitis with our comprehensive treatments. We avoid unnecessary medications and surgeries with our approach while still providing you optimal healing.
