FAQ

Typical symptoms of plantar fasciitis include sharp heel pain, particularly noticeable when you take your first steps in the morning or after long periods of sitting. The pain usually affects one foot but can occur in both feet. While heel spurs—small bony growths—may develop alongside plantar fasciitis, they are rarely the cause of pain and often resolve with proper treatment of the underlying condition.

  • Overtraining without proper preparation, especially in runners
  • Wearing ill-fitting or unsupportive shoes
  • Running or walking on hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt
  • Standing for extended periods on hard flooring
  • Flat feet or very high arches
  • Carrying extra weight or being pregnant

Plantar fasciitis most often affects those between the ages of 40 and 60, but it can occur at any age.

Dr. Amin and Dr. Siddiqui will perform a thorough physical examination, often asking you to perform simple movements like standing on your toes or flexing your foot to assess your pain. Since plantar fasciitis pain can fluctuate, it’s essential to describe your symptoms in detail. In some cases, imaging tests like X-rays or ultrasounds may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other potential conditions.

  • Anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling
  • Night splints to keep the plantar fascia stretched overnight
  • Stretching exercises specifically designed to ease tension
  • Custom orthotics to provide proper support
  • Activity modifications to minimize strain on your feet

In rare cases where conservative treatments don’t provide sufficient relief, a minimally invasive surgical procedure may be recommended to release the tension in the plantar fascia and offer long-term pain relief.
