What is plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia. This ligament connects the back of your heel to your toes on the bottom of your feet. The plantar fascia braces the arch of your foot, acting as a shock absorber. It lowers the pressure and stress on your feet and ankles when standing, walking, running, or jumping.
You develop plantar fasciitis from excess pressure on the ligament, causing inflammation and tiny tears in the tissue.
Anyone can develop plantar fasciitis. However, the foot condition is common in:
- Athletes (especially runners)
- People with a high foot arch
- People who spend long periods on their feet.
What are the symptoms of plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis symptoms vary in type and severity. The tell-tale symptom is pain in your heel when you first get out of bed in the morning. Or after spending an extended period off your feet.
You might also notice increased pain after exercise but no pain during your workout. The pain lasts for months and can cause swelling in the heel. You might also have tightness in your Achilles tendon.
When should I seek podiatry treatment for plantar fasciitis?
If you struggle with ongoing heel or foot pain affecting your daily activities, seek care at AIRE Podiatry Studio.
AIRE Podiatry Studio takes a patient-centered approach to care, focusing on your whole health. Your podiatrist reviews your symptoms and daily routine during your plantar fasciitis consultation. They ask about your medical history and examine your feet.
They could request in-office X-rays to rule out other conditions that might explain your symptoms.
What treatment options can improve plantar fasciitis?
AIRE Podiatry Studio’s skilled podiatrists personalize your plantar fasciitis treatment based on your symptoms. And how the condition affects your daily life. Initially, your plan can include:
- Change in shoes

Tenex is a minimally invasive procedure using innovative technology to break up scar tissue and remove damaged tissue.
This Plantar fasciitis surgery, known as minimally invasive surgery (MIS), uses tiny incisions and specialized tools to ease symptoms. Compared to the usual open surgery, it’s less invasive, leading to less pain, scarring, and recovery time.
The goal of MIS is to target the inflamed foot tissue, offering relief and faster healing. It’s a helpful choice for those seeking a better solution after trying other treatments.
