We Can Help You!
It is likely that you may have a condition known as plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation or tearing of the plantar fascia, which is a soft tissue structure in the arch of your foot, and often causes pain at its attachment to the base of the heel bone.
At Blue Mountains Podiatry we specialize in diagnosing, managing and treating plantar fasciitis, getting you back on your feet as soon as possible. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common conditions that we see, with an estimated 10% of the population suffering from this type of pain at some point in their life. Our expert therapists have a deep understanding of all factors that contribute to this debilitating condition, including;
- Pronating /Rolling feet or ankles (flat feet)
- Tight calf muscles
- Inadequate footwear
- Overuse
- Poor biomechanics (the way you walk)
- Being over weight
- Athletic activity and poor training resumes
Our unique and comprehensive range of treatment techniques ensures we get the best possible outcomes for all of our patients. Without the appropriate management, plantar fasciitis can take over 12 months to resolve and has a high rate of occurrence. As such, our therapists take an individualized approach to each patient in order to tailor a management plan that best suits you, as we know a generic treatment formula will be ineffective in resolving you pain in the long term.

- Custom made orthotics (arch supports)
