Commonly called plantar fasciitis. Pain in the heel of the foot is often misdiagnosed and undertreated.

Symptoms of foot pain often involve:

• Pain in the heel and arch of the foot

• Difficulty with the first few steps in the morning or after sitting for a while

• Tension in the calves

• Pain with barefoot walking

• Pain with standing or walking for long periods of time

• Limitations in walking and lifting as needed for life or work tasks

Physical therapy can help to dive deeper into the cause of your foot pain and treat the joints a muscles. This often involves a broader perspective. Your feet oftentimes require support from the hips and spine!
