Service FAQ
Questions About Plantar Fasciitis Physiotherapy
Why does my heel hurt most in the morning?
Sharp heel pain in the first steps of the day is the classic pattern of plantar fasciitis. The tissue stiffens overnight and is then loaded suddenly on standing. Treatment addresses both the irritated tissue and the reasons it is being overloaded.
Do I need surgery or injections for plantar fasciitis?
Most cases are managed without either. Physiotherapy, stretching and strengthening, footwear advice, and load management are the usual first-line approach. Dr. Pratiksha Gadkari will advise if a specialist opinion is appropriate.
Will the heel pain come back?
Recurrence is less likely when the underlying load is addressed, not just the pain. The programme includes calf and foot strengthening plus footwear and activity guidance for that reason.
