Plantar Fasciitis in Vancouver

Online Booking for Vancouver OrthoticsPerhaps the most common complain we see here at Vancouver Orthotics; Plantar Fasciitis can be a chronic painful inflammatory condition caused by excessive strain to the "plantar fascia" (bottom fibrous tissue) of the foot. This pain may be felt in the heel or the arch itself. Typically the patient experiences immediate morning pain right out of bed, consistent pain throughout the day, or pain at the end of the night after a full day at work or on your feet.

Dr. Michael Horowitz offers a 5-Step process to successfully treating this condition.  He can help evaluate & diagnose your condition and recommend the best course of action for you. Call Vancouver Orthotics at 604-737-3668 for more information.

The cause of plantar fasciitis can be from a specific trauma to the foot or from chronic repetitive strain often associated with the flat overly pronated foot. Pain is usually felt on the underside of the heel, inside more often than outside of the arch, and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. It is commonly associated with long periods of weight bearing.

Plantar fasciitis can be successfully treatment with the support of custom orthotic inserts.
