Inflammation of the band of tissue (ligament) that connects the heel bone to the toes (plantar fascia) causing pain in the heels and arch of your foot. It’s more likely to be plantar fasciitis if:

• the pain is much worse when you start walking after sleeping or resting
• the pain feels better during exercise, but returns after resting
• it’s difficult to raise your toes off the floor

Most people can recover from Plantar Fasciitis with rest, icing the painful area, stretches, and taking NSAIDs to relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation, if the irritation persists, you may need orthotics to help ease or take away the pain/issue.

We can offer orthotics, exercise and therapies like shockwave therapy to help with Plantar Fasciitis. Plantar Fasciitis can be treated effectively by wearing orthotic insoles. Orthotics can correct over-pronation and support the arch. This will help release the tension on the plantar fascia, thus treating the cause of Plantar Fasciitis. Shockwave therapy increases blood flow to the area in pain and case get the body to heal itself internally.

The Achilles tendon is a combined tendon of the two muscles in the calf, the larger muscle being Gastrocnemius and smaller muscle being Soleus.  This tendon is the strongest tendon in the body, it can still become overloaded or suffer from overuse resulting in pain and discomfort.

Chondromalacia Patella is often called runner’s knee, this painful overuse condition may lead to knee osteoarthritis. Chondromalacia patella is the breakdown of cartilage on the underside of the kneecap (patella). When the kneecap rubs against the thigh bone, it hurts and swells. It is common among runners and other athletes and has been given the nickname “runner’s knee.”

We can offer orthotics, exercise and therapies like shockwave therapy to help with runners knee. Orthotics like a knee brace, sleeve, or wrap to support the knee and help align the patella. Shockwave therapy increases blood flow to the area in pain and case get the body to heal itself internally.
