Milwaukee Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Specialists
Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammatory condition caused by excessive wear to the plantar fascia of the foot or biomechanical faults that cause abnormal positioning of the foot. The pain is usually felt on the underside of the heel and is often more intense with the first steps of the day. It may be caused by jobs that require a lot of walking on hard surfaces, shoes that do not have enough arch support, obesity and inactivity. The condition often results in heel spurs.
Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis?
Your PROCare Physical Therapist will help you achieve good, long-term results in resolving your injury. We will work with you to stretch the tendons and fascia, check to see if you are getting enough arch support, educate you as to what types of shoes are very bad for this condition and which are better choices. We will also give you a set of exercises that you can do at home to speed your recovery and to help avoid the pain especially during those first steps of the day.
Most patients who receive physical therapy for this condition may avoid receiving injections and corrective surgery. Call us, we can help.

He would like to help injured Wisconsin hunters by providing them with a crossbow evaluation, which will help them secure a permit, so they can continue to enjoy the sport of hunting.
