Plantar Fasciitis
If you have plantar fasciitis, you know how painful and limiting the heel pain can be. Your first steps in the morning can be excruciating. But rest doesn't seem to help as your pain comes back after you have been off your feet for a while.
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain that we see at Complete Podiatry. The team in our Adelaide Hills podiatry clinic can help you find the best plan for your plantar fasciitis treatment and help you build your amazing life from the feet up.

- Strength and conditioning planning
- Exercise prescription
- Dry-needing
- Taping and strapping

We will work with you on multiple areas that contribute to your heel pain. This will include reducing stress on damaged tissues, hands-on treatment and exercise rehabilitation.

It takes teamwork! What you do outside of the clinic is just as important as what we do within it - What you do at home will go a long way to you getting better, faster!
