Helping Your Plantar Fasciitis With Orthotics

The plantar fascia is a band of tissue that goes along the bottom of the foot connecting the toes and the heel bone. Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia causing heel pain. Plantar fasciitis usually happens with the first steps you take in the morning. However, it may also flare up when you stand for a long time or when you stand after sitting down for a while. A podiatrist can diagnose you with a physical exam that checks for tenderness in your foot. MRIs and X-rays can also help diagnose someone with plantar fasciitis. If you’re looking for a podiatrist in Port Washington visit Prine Health today!

Causes of Plantar Fasciitis

Did you know that stress on the plantar fascia can lead to tears, which get repeated over time, leading to irritation and inflammation?

Risk Factors for Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis can occur with no cause, but many things can increase your risk of plantar fasciitis.

Age - Plantar Fasciitis is most common in ages 40 to 60.
Certain Exercises - Activities that put a lot of pressure on your heels, such as running, increase your risk of plantar fasciitis.
Foot Structure - Other problems you have with your feet, such as flat feet or a high arch, may increase your risk for plantar fasciitis.
Obesity - Being overweight can cause more pressure on your heels.

Orthotics for Plantar Fasciitis

Orthotics are prescription shoe insoles molded off your feet to help with pain while walking, running, or exercising. This can help with the pain associated with plantar fasciitis. To determine if you need orthotics, your podiatrist will start by examining how you walk. If it is determined that you need orthotics, your podiatrist will make a mold of your feet that they will send out to be made into orthotics.

Meet The Providers

Patient Experience

As a patient of Dr. David Sands for over 15 years. He is professional, patient, knowledgeable and uses the latest technology when treating his patients, something that other doctors are not. I highly recommend him if you have issues with your feet.

Kristen R.

My son had an ingrown toenail and we needed an urgent appointment. We were seen on the same day. The receptionists were very welcoming and friendly and we saw the doctor within a few minutes. The doctor was friendly, competent, diagnosed the problem correctly, and operated very diligently. Extremely pleased and highly recommended.

Jonathan H.

Dr. Sands is an outstanding Podiatrist. He is professional, courteous, a gentleman and extremely interested in the health of his patients. David is most accommodating and doesn't make patients wait a long time to be seen. His office staff is equally as polite and welcoming and they all run a 5 Star practice.

Dr. Alec Hochstein takes patients from start to finish when it comes to wound care. He is not satisfied until the wound is completely healed. His methods of treatment for non-healing diabetic ulcers is notable. I approached Dr. Hochstein in August of 2014, with a persistent non-healing Diabetic Ulcer. The Ulcer was deep and rather large, To date the Ulceration is microscopic thanks to the wound care treatment that was received. I'm able to live a Happy and Healthy Life thanks to Dr. Alec Hochstein and his team of employees. I highly recommend this provider for any foot care or wound care needs.
