Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Wellington
Relieve Foot Pain and Regain Mobility
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition causing heel and foot pain, often worsened by prolonged standing or walking. At City Osteopaths in Wellington, we provide effective, holistic treatment to manage plantar fasciitis symptoms, reduce pain, and improve foot function.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue connecting the heel to the toes—becomes inflamed. Common causes include:
Overuse
High-impact activities like running or walking long distances.
Poor Footwear
Lack of arch support can strain the plantar fascia.
Foot Mechanics
Issues like flat feet or high arches can contribute to stress on the plantar fascia.
If left untreated, plantar fasciitis can cause persistent pain and limit mobility.
Common Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
Heel Pain: Often worse in the morning or after periods of rest.
Tightness or Stiffness: Discomfort in the sole of the foot, particularly after activity.
Swelling and Inflammation: Mild swelling around the heel or arch.
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, seeking professional care can help prevent the condition from worsening.
