Plantar Fasciitis is a common condition causing pain in the heel and bottom of the foot. It occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue running from your heel to your toes, becomes inflamed or irritated. This condition can be frustrating and painful, making it difficult to walk or stand for long periods. But the good news is, you don’t have to live with it forever. With the right treatment and preventative measures, you can manage and even overcome plantar fasciitis.

With so many options available, how do you know which orthotic is best for you?
Foot pain is so common nowadays, it’s unusual to hear that people around you may not have any foot pain whatsoever. Plantar fasciitis, sore feet, you name it. But what if the lack of pain was a lack of feeling overall? Neuropathy in the feet is just as big of an issue as foot pain itself. Neuropathy is a major precursor to conditions such as wounds, callus, and changes in gait (the way you walk). It is relevant to conditions like diabetes and other genetic diseases as well.
