Plantar Fasciitis

Are you struggling with significant heel pain? You may be dealing with Plantar Fasciitis, one of the most common causes of foot discomfort. At Holland Foot and Ankle, we specialize in treating this condition with proven, personalized care to help you get back to your active lifestyle.

What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar Fasciitis is classified as an overuse injury affecting the plantar fascia, a ligament on the bottom of your foot that connects your heel to your toes. This ligament supports your arch and absorbs the stress of walking or running. When overused, the area where the ligament attaches to your heel becomes inflamed, causing pain and stiffness. This condition doesn’t resolve on its own, and because we’re always on our feet, it can worsen over time if left untreated. Many patients endure discomfort for months or even years, but there’s no need to live with the pain – effective treatment is available.

Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

Common signs of Plantar Fasciitis include:

  • Sharp or aching pain in the heel, especially in the morning or after periods of rest.

  • Increased discomfort after prolonged standing, walking, or exercise.

  • Stiffness or tenderness in the bottom of the foot.

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s time to seek professional care. During your first consultation, we’ll evaluate your symptoms and determine the best course of action tailored to your needs. After starting treatment, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment in 4 to 6 weeks to assess your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
