A sharp, stabbing pain in your heel with your first steps in the morning is the classic sign of plantar fasciitis — inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. It’s common in runners, people who stand all day, and anyone who has recently increased their activity.
Common symptoms
Stabbing heel pain, worst in the morning · Pain after long periods of standing or after exercise · Stiffness or aching in the arch of the foot
How we treat it
Our foot specialist will assess your feet, gait, and footwear. Treatment may include physiotherapy, shockwave therapy, laser therapy, and a guided stretching and strengthening program. Custom orthotics can support your arch and reduce strain on the fascia so the pain doesn’t return.
