Understanding Plantar Fasciitis
What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition characterized by inflammation and micro-tears in the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel bone to your toes. This condition typically causes stabbing pain near the heel, often most intense with the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest.
The condition develops when the plantar fascia undergoes excessive strain and stress, leading to irritation and inflammation. Without proper treatment, plantar fasciitis can become chronic, significantly impacting your ability to walk, exercise, and perform daily activities comfortably.
- ✓ Often triggered by overuse, improper footwear, or biomechanical issues
- ✓ More common in runners, people who are overweight, and those with high arches or flat feet
- ✓ Typically worsens with prolonged standing or activity on hard surfaces
- ✓ Can be effectively treated with conservative, non-surgical approaches
At TheChiro Bukit Jalil, our specialized approach focuses on addressing the root causes of your plantar fasciitis, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue healing—helping you return to pain-free walking and activities without relying on pain medications or invasive procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions on Plantar Fasciitis
How long does it take to recover from plantar fasciitis?
Recovery time varies depending on severity, duration, and individual factors. With appropriate treatment, most patients experience significant improvement within 6-12 weeks. However, long-standing cases may take several months. Our approach focuses on both immediate pain relief and addressing the underlying causes, helping to speed recovery and prevent recurrence. Consistency with your home exercises and following footwear recommendations significantly impacts recovery time.
What type of shoes are best for plantar fasciitis?
The ideal shoes for plantar fasciitis provide good arch support, cushioned heels, and firm midsoles. Look for shoes with removable insoles (so you can add custom orthotics if needed), adequate toe box width, and proper shock absorption. Avoid completely flat shoes, worn-out footwear, and high heels. We provide personalized footwear recommendations based on your specific foot structure, walking pattern, and daily activities to support your recovery.
Should I stop exercising if I have plantar fasciitis?
You don't necessarily need to stop exercising, but you should modify your activities to avoid aggravating the condition. Consider temporarily reducing high-impact activities like running and jumping, and substitute with low-impact exercises such as swimming, cycling, or rowing. We guide patients on appropriate activity modification and gradually reintroduce impact activities as the condition improves. Proper warm-up, stretching, and footwear are essential when returning to your usual exercise routine.
Can orthotics help with plantar fasciitis?
Yes, appropriate orthotics can be very beneficial for plantar fasciitis by providing proper arch support, distributing pressure more evenly across your foot, and reducing strain on the plantar fascia. Over-the-counter arch supports may help mild cases, while custom orthotics are often more effective for complex foot mechanics or severe cases. We can assess whether orthotics might benefit your specific condition and provide recommendations based on your foot structure and symptoms.
What causes plantar fasciitis to develop?
Several factors can contribute to plantar fasciitis development: foot structure abnormalities (flat feet or high arches), sudden weight gain, prolonged standing on hard surfaces, inadequate footwear, tight calf muscles or Achilles tendons, and certain exercise patterns (especially sudden increases in activity). Identifying your specific contributing factors is essential for effective treatment. Our comprehensive assessment helps pinpoint these factors, allowing us to develop a targeted treatment approach addressing your unique situation.
Is it better to rest or stretch with plantar fasciitis?
Both have their place in treatment. During acute flare-ups, relative rest from aggravating activities helps reduce inflammation. However, appropriate stretching is crucial for recovery by improving tissue flexibility and reducing tension. Key stretches target the plantar fascia, calf muscles, and Achilles tendon. We provide a balanced approach with specific stretching routines tailored to your condition stage, along with guidance on when to rest versus when to actively rehabilitate through appropriate movement.
