Overview
Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Sydney | Aussie Foot Healers (AFH) Clinic
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition characterised by sharp pain in the heel or the bottom of the foot, often most severe with the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest. It is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, the band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes.
Our clinic offers a comprehensive treatment plan to alleviate pain and address the underlying causes of plantar fasciitis.
