Plantar Fasciitis Fort Lauderdale

Are you experiencing sharp heel pain when you take your first steps in the morning or after standing for a while? You may be dealing with Plantar Fasciitis—one of the most common causes of foot pain that can significantly affect your mobility and daily routine. At Theracave in Fort Lauderdale, we offer expert physical therapy tailored to relieve pressure on the plantar fascia, reduce inflammation, and restore proper foot mechanics. Our hands-on, one-on-one approach helps you walk, stand, and move more comfortably.

The plantar fascia is a strong band of tissue running along the bottom of your foot, connecting the heel to the toes and supporting your arch. When irritated by overuse, poor footwear, or biomechanical issues, it can become inflamed—leading to persistent pain and stiffness. At Theracave in Fort Lauderdale, we perform a detailed assessment to understand the root of your discomfort and build a custom treatment plan that targets your unique needs. With early intervention and guided care, we help you recover faster and prevent long-term foot problems.

Q&A

Plantar Fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia, the tissue that supports your foot arch. Repetitive strain or stress causes microtears, leading to heel pain and stiffness—especially in the morning or after rest.

Yes. Most cases can be treated successfully with conservative methods such as physical therapy, stretching, activity modification, and proper footwear. Surgery is rarely needed and only considered in chronic, unresponsive cases.

With consistent treatment, most people improve within 6–8 weeks. However, more severe or long-standing cases may take several months. Early intervention typically leads to faster and more complete recovery.

Absolutely. Physical therapy helps by stretching the plantar fascia and surrounding muscles, strengthening foot and ankle support, improving flexibility, and correcting poor movement patterns or gait issues that contribute to the pain.
