Heel Spur & Plantar Fasciitis

Stabbing heel pain with the first steps in the morning? Usually, an irritated plantar fascia is behind it – highly treatable, often independent of the spur.

The typical lower heel pain usually arises from irritation of the plantar fascia – the tendon plate under the foot (plantar fasciitis). A heel spur visible on an X-ray is often just an accompanying finding and not the actual cause of pain. The symptoms are highly treatable.

A stabbing pain on the sole of the foot near the heel, classically with the first steps in the morning or after prolonged sitting. It often subsides after a few steps but returns with prolonged strain.

Overload of the plantar fascia due to unaccustomed strain, training errors, calf stiffness, unsuitable footwear, and low tissue resilience.

We build up the resilience of the sole of the foot and calf with targeted evidence-based training and relieve irritation with manual therapy. Through a movement analysis, including gait and running analysis, we optimize load and technique so that heel pain disappears permanently.
