Contrary to popular belief, not everyone has plantar fasciitis. In fact, recalcitrant or chronic heel pain typically is NOT plantar fasciitis. Now, you may have an element of it, but typically something else is truly causing that annoying pain that simply won’t go away. Whatever the cause, we’ve got you covered.

With over 15 years of clinical experience, our team utilizes our wealth of knowledge + innovative medical studies to provide the best treatment. Our expertise allows us to effectively address even the most persistent cases of heel pain, regardless of how many doctors you have previously consulted. We prioritize conservative approaches, and surgery is rarely required.

Our unique treatment program encompasses three key pillars:

1. Uncovering the Root Cause: We evaluate various factors like your foot structure, gait, footwear, activities, and exercise routines to craft a personalized treatment plan focused immediate relief and long-term improvement.
2. Taming the Plantar Fascia: Tension on the plantar fascia is often the culprit behind plantar fasciitis. We can mold you in office for top-notch foot orthotics that conform perfectly to your arch, reducing the strain on the plantar fascia.
3. Reversing Inflammation + Degenerative Changes: Our mission is to put a spring back in your step, allowing you to fully enjoy the activities you love. We tailor your treatment plan with a variety of physical movements, topical medication, inserts, and even MLS IV Laser Therapy to get you at your best.

If you think you’ve hit a dead end with treatment, we’re here to offer a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or even 6th opinion! Bring your medical records with you - the more information the better!
