Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Santa Barbara
Plantar fasciitis can be a debilitating condition that affects your ability to walk, run, and enjoy daily activities. At Bissell Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating plantar fasciitis, helping our Santa Barbara patients find relief and regain their mobility.
More Than Just Foot Pain
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) that connects your heel bone to your toes. This condition often causes stabbing heel pain, particularly with the first steps in the morning or after prolonged rest periods. Common causes include repetitive stress on the plantar fascia, age-related changes in foot structure, occupations requiring long standing periods, sudden weight gain, and flat feet or high arches.
Our practice offers a multi-faceted approach to treating plantar fasciitis and relieving heel pain.
Our methods may include the following:
- Shockwave Therapy—our Shockwave Therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate healing in the plantar fascia, break up scar tissue, and reduce chronic inflammation at the source of your heel pain.
- Soft Tissue Mobilization and Transverse Friction Massage—hands-on techniques to break up adhesions and restore healthy tissue mobility in the plantar fascia.
- Ice Therapy—to reduce inflammation and calm irritated tissue in the early stages of care.
- Customized Stretching and Strengthening Exercises—targeting the calf muscles, Achilles tendon, and plantar fascia to relieve tension and prevent recurrence.
- Patient Education—on stress-reduction techniques for the plantar fascia and proper footwear.
We may also recommend orthotic devices or night splints to provide additional support and facilitate healing.
Enjoy Long-Term Relief and Practice Preventive Care
Our goal is to alleviate your current symptoms and prevent future flare-ups. We’ll work with you to develop a personalized maintenance program that includes proper stretching techniques, strengthening exercises, and footwear recommendations to support long-term foot health.
As part of your program, we’ll teach you effective home care strategies, such as rolling a frozen water bottle under your foot for pain relief, performing targeted stretches for your calf muscles and plantar fascia, using a golf ball for self-massage, and more.
