Plantar Fasciitis Care in London
Personalised Chiropractic Care for Plantar Fasciitis in London
Plantar fasciitis is pain under the heel or along the arch, caused by irritation of the thick band of tissue under the foot. It is often worst with the first steps after rest.
I’m Dr Ida Norgaard, a chiropractor at Inc-Health in central London. I assess the foot together with the calf, knee, hip and lower back, because tightness and poor loading up the leg can feed the problem. See also our ankle and foot pain page.

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis
Common Causes of Plantar Fasciitis
It is usually an overuse problem, linked to running, long periods standing, sudden increases in activity, tight calf muscles, higher body weight or unsupportive footwear. Flat or high arches can add to the load.
Treatment focuses on reducing the load on the tissue and improving how the foot and calf work. Chiropractic care may help with joint stiffness and muscle tightness, alongside stretching, strengthening and footwear advice.
Clear, personalised care for plantar fasciitis
Every plantar fasciitis consultation starts with listening and a thorough assessment of your foot, calf and the way you walk, followed by clear advice on your next steps.

How We Help
How Can a Chiropractor Help With Plantar Fasciitis?
I take a detailed history and examine the foot, ankle, calf and lower limb, including how you stand and walk. Treatment may include soft tissue work, joint mobilisation or adjustment, taping and a progressive plan of stretching and strengthening.
Plantar fasciitis can be slow to settle, so I explain what to expect and how to adapt your activity rather than stop everything. If it does not respond, I will discuss further options and refer you if necessary.
Treatment is non-surgical and drug-free, and your response is reviewed as we go. If your symptoms need further investigation, Dr Norgaard will refer you.

Plantar Fasciitis Symptoms
Heel Pain on the First Steps of the Day
Typical symptoms are a sharp or burning pain under the heel on getting out of bed or standing after sitting, which eases as you move but may return by the end of the day.
Supportive shoes, calf stretches, a rolling ball under the foot and avoiding going barefoot on hard floors can help while you are being assessed. If the heel is hot, red or swollen, or you have numbness, seek medical advice. See also running injuries.
Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Plantar Fasciitis
Can a chiropractor help with plantar fasciitis?
Chiropractic care may help to ease pain and improve movement in the foot, ankle and calf, alongside exercises and advice.
What causes heel pain in the morning?
The plantar fascia tightens overnight and is stressed by the first steps, which is why morning heel pain is so typical.
How long does plantar fasciitis last?
It often takes several months to settle. Consistent stretching, strengthening and sensible loading make a difference.
Do I need insoles?
Some people benefit from supportive insoles or footwear changes. I can advise after examining your feet and gait.
When should I seek urgent help?
Seek help if the heel is hot, red or swollen, if you have a fever, or if the pain follows a significant injury.
What happens at a first plantar fasciitis appointment?
Dr Norgaard takes a detailed history, examines you, explains what she finds and discusses a personalised plan that may include hands-on treatment, exercises and advice. The first visit lasts 45 to 60 minutes. See your first visit.
How many sessions will I need for plantar fasciitis?
This depends on your symptoms, how long you have had them and how you respond to care. Dr Norgaard explains what to expect after your assessment and reviews your progress as you go.
How much does a chiropractor cost in London?
An initial consultation of 45 to 60 minutes costs £160 and follow-up sessions of 20 to 30 minutes cost £90. You receive a receipt after every visit. See our chiropractor prices and book directly, with no GP referral needed.
