Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Brampton

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar Fasciitis is a condition that occurs when there is an inflammation of the Plantar fascia band that is situated at the bottom on the bottom of your foot – from the calcaneus ( heel bone) to the head of the metatarsal bones (the bone between each toe). This band is a very thick connective tissue which plays a role in supporting the arch of the bottom of the foot. When you place your foot on the ground and place your full weight on it, the plantar fascia band is completely stretched out – and becomes un-stretched when no weight is placed on it.

What causes Plantar Fasciitis? What are the symptoms?

Early morning heel pain/stiffness
Pain/stiffness in the calf muscle
Pain in the heel/foot while taking the first few steps after waking up
Pain localized within the heel, mid-foot or rear-foot with prolong walking

On your first visit at Active Life Wellness Center, our Physiotherapist or Chiropractor will assess your movement in your lower extremities to identify the cause of your plantar fasciitis. Once that is determined, they will create a treatment plan addressing your needs and get you back on your feet pain and discomfort free.

What Our Patients Say

On my first visit, I met Dr. Sodhi. I have been to another chiropractor/physio clinic in the past but so far none can be compared to this. I am saying this because the way Dr. Sodhi listened to my problem and chalked out a therapy plan to fix the issues was exceptionally commendable. He was not like others who jumped right into giving you chiro sessions. Indeed, he follows a proper strategy, diagnose you very well and has a plan to solve your chiropractic needs. I am looking forward for my sessions as planned. Thank you Dr. Sodhi.

Dr. Mistry is the best Chiropractor I've ever been treated by. I came with a very painful lower back issue, and he gave me intelligent treatment that was more like physiotherapy that involved chiropractic care. I have a very physical job, and with his help I was able to continue there without taking time off.
