What is plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, occurring when the plantar fascia — the strong ligament supporting the arch of the foot — becomes irritated or inflamed. Many people notice pain most when taking their first steps in the morning, or after long periods of standing or walking. At The Haslemere Clinic, we specialise in diagnosing and treating plantar fasciitis using a combination of osteopathic treatment, biomechanical assessment, and custom orthotics when required.
Common symptoms
Plantar fasciitis can cause sharp pain under the heel, discomfort when getting out of bed in the morning, stiffness in the arch, and heel pain after exercise or long periods on your feet. Symptoms often worsen with activity or standing for extended periods. Recognising these signs early allows for prompt assessment and treatment, helping to prevent the condition from becoming chronic and supporting a quicker return to normal daily activities and exercise routines.
Causes and risk factors
Plantar fasciitis often develops due to mechanical strain through the foot. Common causes include flat feet or fallen arches, tight calf muscles, running or other sports, sudden increases in training, poor footwear, and standing for long periods at work. Heel pain may also be linked to how the foot interacts with the rest of the lower limb. A full assessment of the feet, ankles, knees, and hips helps identify the underlying factors contributing to pain. We also offer
homeopathy
and
hypnotherapy
as part of our holistic approach to supporting recovery and managing discomfort.
Treatment and recovery
Treatment focuses on addressing the root cause of plantar fasciitis rather than just managing symptoms. Options may include osteopathic treatment to reduce strain in the foot and leg, stretching and rehabilitation exercises, footwear and activity advice, biomechanical assessment, and custom orthotics where appropriate. By correcting underlying issues, patients can reduce pain, prevent recurrence, and return to normal activity more quickly. Early intervention can also help prevent the condition from becoming chronic.
