Find relief from your symptoms
At Jakupi Podiatry, We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes.
This inflammation can cause sharp or stabbing pain in the heel or arch of the foot, especially with the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest. If left untreated, plantar fasciitis can become chronic and significantly impact your daily activities and quality of life. Fortunately, our experienced podiatrists are here to help you find relief from your symptoms and get back on your feet.
Common Causes of Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Overuse: Repetitive stress or strain on the plantar fascia, often from activities such as running, walking, or standing for long periods.
- Biomechanical issues: Abnormalities in foot structure or mechanics, such as high arches, flat feet, or tight calf muscles, can increase the risk of developing plantar fasciitis.
- Improper footwear: Wearing shoes with inadequate support or cushioning, or shoes that do not fit properly, can contribute to the development of plantar fasciitis.
- Obesity: Excess weight puts additional strain on the plantar fascia and can increase the risk of inflammation and pain.
