Plantar Fasciitis treatment in Miguel Hidalgo

Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the sole of the foot and connects the heel with the toes. It is a frequent cause of heel pain.

Frequent symptoms:

• Stabbing pain in the heel, especially in the first steps of the day.
• Discomfort that reappears after periods of rest or after standing for a long time.

Common causes: overload from intense physical activity, inadequate footwear, flat or high-arched feet, and standing for long hours.

Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist or trauma specialist assesses the structure of the foot, while the physical therapist and the podiatrist support functional recovery. If the heel pain persists or limits your activities, seeing a professional makes it possible to identify its cause and guide the appropriate care.
