Plantar Fasciitis Symptoms & Treatment

Healthcare services imageIf you are experiencing sharp, stabbing pains in your heel or the sole of your foot, you aren't alone. Plantar fasciitis is a common but debilitating condition that can make every step feel like a challenge. At our Robinson Twp practice, we specialize in providing fast, non-invasive relief so you can get back on your feet.


Common Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

Are you experiencing any of the following? These are the most frequent signs that the thick band of tissue (the fascia) connecting your heel bone to your toes is inflamed:
  • Sharp, Stabbing Pain: Often most intense with your first steps in the morning or after sitting for long periods.
  • Heel or Sole Tenderness: Focused pain at the bottom of the heel.
  • Inflammation & Swelling: Visible puffiness or a feeling of heat in the foot.
  • Limping: Compensating for pain by changing the way you walk.
  • Inability to Use the Foot: Difficulty standing or walking for extended periods due to discomfort.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Dr. Wonderly and our team make the process simple and efficient:
  • Locate the Problem: We start by identifying the exact tender areas of your heel and arch.
  • Apply Acoustic Gel: A specialized gel is applied to the skin to ensure the sound waves can travel effectively into the inflamed tissue.
  • Targeted Treatment: Using the PiezoWave wand, we send acoustic sound waves deep into the soft tissue of the plantar fascia to break up tension and trigger healing.
  • Clean Up & Go: We wipe off the gel, and you're done! You can walk out of the office immediately after your 20-minute session.
