What patients notice
Heel pain is often sharp in the morning, after sitting, or after long periods of standing or running. Calf tightness, footwear, training changes, and foot mechanics can contribute.
How it is treated
Care often includes calf and plantar fascia stretching, foot and ankle strengthening, taping, night splints, footwear changes, and orthotic support when appropriate.
When tenotomy may be discussed
For chronic plantar fasciitis that persists despite conservative care, Dr. Jones may evaluate whether imaging or ultrasound-guided percutaneous tenotomy is appropriate.
When to schedule
Schedule a visit if heel pain is lingering, limiting standing or activity, or returning despite stretching and footwear changes.
