Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Baltimore:
Time for a New Approach
Do you have stabbing heel pain the moment your foot hits the floor in the morning? Have you tried toe yoga, a frozen water bottle under the foot, and expensive orthotics without relief? You are not alone. The majority of my patients with plantar fasciitis have undergone expensive treatments that are time-consuming, outdated, and often ineffective. New Moon Physiotherapy provides targeted treatment for plantar fasciitis. I’ve had the privilege of helping countless patients, from marathoners who’ve had to sideline their training, to basketball players avoiding the court, to nurses who can barely finish a shift due to foot and heel pain.
The Real Story Behind Your Heel Pain
Not all heel pain is actually plantar fasciitis, even though that’s often the “go-to” diagnosis. The majority of cases of plantar fasciitis are actually caused by trigger points in the calf muscles (the soleus and gastrocnemius).
This is why you might have tried countless foot exercises, toe stretches, and expensive orthotics without much relief.
Trigger points in the gastrocnemius muscle can refer pain directly to your plantar fascia.
The soleus muscle, which sits underneath your larger calf muscle and crosses your ankle joint, can develop trigger points that refer pain directly to your heel.

My Treatment Approach
Using the latest evidence-based techniques such as dry needling, Instrument-Assisted-Soft Tissue Mobilization, myofascial release, proprioceptive training, and vibration plate therapy, we can target problematic trigger points in the various muscles that are often the real culprits behind your heel pain. This approach is so targeted on the source of pain that most patients only need to attend sessions once per week.
