Orthotic solutions for heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and arch pain caused by standing, walking, or work-related strain.
Heel pain is one of the most common foot complaints and is often caused by plantar fasciitis— inflammation of the band of tissue that supports the arch and connects the heel bone to the toes. Pain is typically worse with the first steps in the morning or after long periods of standing.
Without proper treatment, plantar fasciitis and heel pain can become chronic, limiting your ability to work, exercise, or stay active. Addressing faulty foot mechanics early is key to long-term relief.
Custom orthotics are one of the most effective treatments for heel pain and plantar fasciitis. They work by supporting the arch, reducing stress on the plantar fascia, and redistributing pressure away from the heel.
Your visit begins with a comprehensive assessment by a licensed Saint John podiatrist. We evaluate foot structure, gait, pressure points, and work or activity demands. Based on your diagnosis, custom orthotics are designed specifically for your condition, footwear, and daily routine.
