Can dry needling help treat Plantar Fasciitis?

Yes! Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain.

It occurs when the band of tissue that runs across the bottom of each foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes, becomes inflamed. This inflammation stems from too much pressure that damages or tears the tissues around the area.

It commonly causes stabbing pain in the bottom of the foot that can occur with your first steps in the morning. As you move throughout the day, the pain normally decreases, but will return after standing or sitting for long periods of time. 

Trigger point therapy in Portland is effective at treating your plantar fasciitis.


I highly recommend Dr. Sarah, and greatly appreciate her gift for helping people. It takes a team of people to keep me going, and Dr. Sarah has been instrumental in helping me overcome my challenges. I trust her completely.
