That Sharp Heel Pain on Your First Step? It Doesn't Have to Be Your Normal.
Every morning, millions of people dread that first step out of bed because of the stabbing, burning heel pain that eases after a few minutes but never fully goes away. If that sounds like you, you may be dealing with plantar fasciitis.
Plantar fasciitis is when the thick band of tissue along the bottom of your foot that supports the arch becomes inflamed and degenerates over time. It's the #1 cause of heel pain and when it becomes chronic, conservative treatments often stop working.
Symptoms that point to plantar fasciitis
Sharp heel pain with your first steps in the morning
Heel, foot or arch pain after sitting or standing for long periods
Stiffness that makes walking uncomfortable
Heel or foot pain that tends to worsen after physical activity but is not typically experienced during exercise.
This is where our shockwave therapy comes in. Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that delivers high-energy acoustic pulses directly into the affected tissue. Think of it as a precise, targeted signal to your body to restart the healing process. It stimulates blood flow, breaks down scar tissue, and triggers cellular repair in chronic injuries
No injections. No surgery. No downtime.
We've helped patients across Richmond Hill, Markham, Vaughan, Thornhill, and North York get back on their feet with shockwave therapy performed by the chiropractor or physiotherapist.
