Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Scottsdale, AZ
Heel pain can make even simple activities uncomfortable. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain and is often especially painful with the first few steps out of bed in the morning or after sitting for a period of time.
At Foot Doc Anna, Dr. Anna Natcher provides personalized evaluation and treatment of heel pain to help determine what's causing your symptoms and get you comfortably back on your feet.
WHAT IS PLANTAR FASCIITIS?
The plantar fascia is thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot from your heel toward your toes. When it becomes irritated, it can cause sharp or aching heel pain—often worse with the first few steps in the morning or after periods of rest.
Foot Doc Anna Tip:
Heel pain isn’t always plantar fasciitis. A proper evaluation can help determine what’s actually causing your pain.
