Plantar fasciitis treatment with custom orthotics – St. Paul – Minneapolis, MN area experts
Plantar fasciitis symptoms
Plantar Fasciitis is a common ailment that results in a stabbing pain at the bottom of the heel. It is the result of the stretching of the Plantar Fascia ligament that connects the bottom (plantar) surface of the forefoot to the heel. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Most people feel the pain of plantar fasciitis after awakening, however long periods of standing or sitting, then walking can trigger the pain. Our plantar fasciitis treatment will relieve the pain and prevent it from coming back.
The job of the plantar fascia is to support the arch of the foot during the walking or running stride
One of the causes of plantar fasciitis is when the natural posture of the weighted foot is pronated (tipped and/or flattened to the inside). In this posture, the plantar fascia ligament is excessively stretched. It’s been estimated that an average person takes 7,500 steps a day. If the foot pronates (80% of the population has this condition) each and every step creates excessive tension on this ligament which creates micro tears at the attachment point of the ligament and the heel. The pain associated with plantar fasciitis is caused by the small micro tears between the ligament and the heel.
If caught early, our plantar fasciitis treatment will solve the problem
A custom orthotic will put the foot in a neutral posture which shortens the distance between the forefoot and the heel; this reduces the excessive tension on the plantar fascia ligament.
In the case of severe pain, the micro tears between the ligament and the heel need to be addressed separately. The best treatment we’ve found to deal with this is through a tape therapy product that usually provides almost instant relief. The product’s design holds the foot in compression and takes tension off of the ligament. The kit includes 15 applications that are worn for 3-5 days each making the entire procedure take about 6 weeks. We’ll show you how to apply the tape yourself. We’ve had excellent results with this product.

Great orthotics
I went back a second time for more orthotics because I loved the first ones that Brad made for me 2 years ago. I had severe plantar fasciitis and he helped me learn how to wrap my feet for 6 weeks and use the orthotics. It worked. It took a while and now I needed a few more orthotics to not switch out so many times. Brad is so friendly, you feel like you are there meeting with a friend. Great place! Highly recommend!

Katelyn responded right away to my inquiry on their Facebook page and I was able to schedule an appointment for the next day. After telling her the pain I was experiencing, she gave me a clear explanation and demonstration of the mechanics of a foot and showed how I could benefit from orthotics. She made the orthotics in the same visit and made the entire process easy. I am excited to hopefully see improvement in my heel pain real soon so I can get back to pain- free walking and exercise.

Really happy with the service and the product. I was dealing with plantar fasciitis and had tried everything, PT, cortisol injections, brace, but nothing helped. Once I had the orthotics made it cleared right up. Just went back for a second set. Thanks Katelyn and Footlab!
