Foot pain can be very painful to deal with, especially if you’re on your feet all day. Plantar fasciitis is one of the causes of foot pain, and it can cause substantial discomfort. If you want to find relief from plantar fasciitis in Salem, OR, or Tualatin, OR, come to Advanced Foot Clinic. Dr. Arabshahi will help you walk away your pain with the latest interventions.

What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, which is caused by inflammation of the tissues on the bottom of your foot. This condition is normally most severe right after waking up or resting for a long period of time. If you feel a stabbing pain on the bottom of your foot by your heel when you walk after sleeping or resting, you may have plantar fasciitis.

Here at Advanced Foot Clinic, we offer a variety of treatments that range from simple anti-inflammatory medication and custom-made orthotics to more involved treatments, including:
  • Physical therapy
  • Muscle stretching
  • Cortisone injections
  • Diode Laser
  • Shockwave Orthotripsy
  • Radiofrequency
  • Amnionic Injections
The treatment you get is usually determined by the severity of the issue and what will be the most helpful for your specific situation. We also have several specialized types of non-surgical procedures for plantar fasciitis, including:
  • Diode laser

Plantar Fasciitis Questions Answered by Your Podiatrist

Patients across Tualatin, OR, and the surrounding Portland metro area often arrive at Advanced Foot Clinic with the same pressing questions about plantar fasciitis treatment. Whether you work on your feet in the Bridgeport Village area, run the trails near Tualatin Community Park, or simply deal with that familiar morning heel pain, getting clear answers can help you take the next step toward relief.

  • What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

    Plantar fasciitis typically develops when the plantar fascia, the band of tissue running along the bottom of your foot from heel to toe, becomes overloaded and inflamed. Repeated stress is usually the trigger. Common contributing factors include:

    ▸ Prolonged standing or walking on hard surfaces, such as concrete floors common in Tualatin warehouse and retail jobs.

    ▸ Increasing activity levels too quickly, including running on paved paths or trails in the area.

    ▸ Foot mechanics such as flat feet, high arches, or inward rolling (pronation).

    ▸ Footwear that lacks adequate arch support or cushioning.

    ▸ Excess body weight, which places added load on the plantar fascia with every step.

    No single factor causes plantar fasciitis on its own, but these risks frequently appear together.


  • How Does a Podiatrist Treat Plantar Fasciitis?

    A plantar fasciitis podiatrist tailors treatment to the severity of each patient's condition. At Advanced Foot Clinic, Dr. Arabshahi may recommend a progression of care that begins with conservative options before advancing to specialized procedures. Treatment options can include anti-inflammatory medication, custom-made orthotics, stretching protocols, laser therapy, injections, or shockwave therapy. Conservative care resolves most cases when started early.

  • How Long Does Plantar Fasciitis Recovery Take?

    Recovery timelines vary depending on how long the condition has been present and how consistently a plantar fasciitis treatment plan is followed. Mild cases caught early may improve within a few weeks, while longer-standing or more severe cases can take several months. Staying off hard surfaces when possible, wearing supportive footwear, and following through with any prescribed orthotics or exercises can help shorten the timeline.

  • When Should Tualatin Residents See a Specialist for Heel Pain?

    You should consider seeing a specialist when heel pain persists beyond a few days, returns repeatedly after rest, or begins interfering with daily activities such as commuting, working, or recreation common to the Tualatin and Lake Oswego corridor. Delaying care often allows the condition to worsen and can extend recovery time. Patients who ignore early symptoms sometimes require more intensive intervention later. Seeking plantar fasciitis treatment sooner rather than later gives patients the best chance at a faster, more complete recovery.
