Morning Heel Pain Seattle

Patients with heel pain often notice it is worse first thing in the morning when getting out of bed. This is because the leading cause of heel pain, plantar fasciitis, involves the shortening of the plantar fascia during sleep. The result is inflammation as the tissue stretches when the foot flattens and the arch is not supported. Most people find that morning heel pain reduces after walking stretches the area, but it often returns again in the evening.

At the Seattle Heel Pain Center, we specialize in treating heel pain and treat patients throughout the Puget Sound region. We have found that this condition is often undertreated, yet when treated correctly, there is an almost 95% success rate. Our treatment approach is to determine the cause of the pain, relieve the pain as quickly as possible, and prevent it from returning.
