Overview
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain we treat: inflammation of the thick band of tissue running along the bottom of the foot. Other factors can include heel spurs, nerve irritation, and biomechanical imbalances.
Rather than simply masking the discomfort, Dr. Melamed identifies the underlying cause of your heel pain so that treatment addresses the source of the problem and supports lasting relief.
When to seek care
Sharp heel pain, often worst with the first steps of the day
Discomfort after standing or sitting for long periods
Stiffness along the bottom of the foot
Pain that eases with movement but later returns
Tenderness along the arch or heel
Our treatment approach
Identifying and treating the underlying cause, not just the pain
A structured stretching program
Custom orthotics and supportive footwear
Anti-inflammatory measures tailored to your condition
A focus on long-term relief over invasive intervention
