Plantar Fasciitis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment at Dr. Hamza Physio
Overview
Plantar Fasciitis is a common foot condition that causes heel pain due to inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. This condition is often caused by excessive strain, poor footwear, or biomechanical issues, leading to stabbing pain, especially in the morning or after prolonged activity.
At Dr. Hamza Physio, located in the AIH Building, G-8 Markaz, Islamabad, we specialize in diagnosing and treating Plantar Fasciitis through advanced physiotherapy techniques aimed at relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and restoring foot function.
