What causes plantar fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is often caused by repetitive strain on the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot. Common triggers include long periods of standing, walking on hard surfaces, poor footwear, tight calf muscles, or improper movement mechanics.

How do I know if I have plantar fasciitis?

The most common symptom is a sharp pain near the heel—especially noticeable with your first steps in the morning or after long periods of sitting or standing. A clinical evaluation can confirm the diagnosis and rule out other causes of foot pain.

Do I need imaging like an X-ray or MRI to diagnose it?

In most cases, imaging isn’t necessary to diagnose plantar fasciitis. However, if symptoms persist or there’s a concern about other conditions like a heel spur or stress fracture, imaging may be recommended.

What treatments do you offer for plantar fasciitis?

Treatment may include stretching, myofascial release, physical therapy, orthotic recommendations, and manual therapy to relieve tension and improve foot mechanics. We tailor each plan to your body, lifestyle, and level of pain.

Can plantar fasciitis go away on its own?

In mild cases, it may improve with rest, stretching, and proper footwear. But chronic or moderate-to-severe cases often require a structured treatment plan to resolve the pain fully and prevent it from coming back.

Is plantar fasciitis linked to other body issues?

Yes—tight hips, poor ankle mobility, or spinal misalignment can all contribute to stress on the plantar fascia. That’s why we take a full-body approach to ensure we’re treating the root cause, not just the foot pain.
