Foot
Pain.

The foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments — bearing the full weight of the body with every step. Foot pain is among the most common musculoskeletal complaints and one of the most treatable with the right approach.

Causes & Conditions

Common foot
conditions.

Plantar fasciitis affects over 2 million people annually and is the most common cause of heel pain — yet many cases are mismanaged with rest alone, leading to months of avoidable pain. Evidence-based loading, manual therapy, and orthotics produce superior and lasting outcomes.

Foot pain is frequently biomechanically driven — meaning the foot itself is responding to abnormal forces from the ankle, knee, hip, or gait pattern. Addressing foot pain in isolation without assessing the kinetic chain above often leads to recurrence.

  • Plantar fasciitis — inflammation of the plantar fascia at its calcaneal insertion causing first-step morning pain
  • Heel spur syndrome — calcaneal bone spur from chronic plantar fascia traction
  • Morton’s neuroma — perineural fibrosis of the interdigital nerve causing burning ball-of-foot pain
  • Metatarsalgia — forefoot pain from metatarsal head overloading in high-heeled or flat footwear
  • Stress fractures — metatarsal and navicular stress fractures in runners and military personnel
  • Tibialis posterior tendinopathy — medial ankle and arch pain with progressive flat foot deformity
  • Peroneal tendinopathy — lateral foot pain from peroneus brevis and longus overloading
  • Hallux valgus (bunion) — first MTP joint deviation causing pain and footwear difficulty
  • Hallux rigidus — first MTP joint osteoarthritis causing big toe stiffness and push-off pain
  • Tarsal tunnel syndrome — tibial nerve compression causing burning, numbness, and tingling in the foot
Our Treatment

Lasting foot
pain relief.

Focused Shockwave

Plantar fasciitis gold-standard — breaks down calcific deposits and stimulates the repair response in chronic cases.

Custom Orthotics

Biomechanical insoles correcting arch mechanics, distributing metatarsal load, and offloading painful structures.

Class IV Laser

Deep tissue laser for plantar fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma, and tendinopathy — reduces inflammation and accelerates healing.

Manual Therapy

Subtalar and midfoot joint mobilization, plantar fascia release, and intrinsic foot muscle work.

Foot Strengthening

Intrinsic foot muscle and arch strengthening — the most evidence-based prevention strategy for recurrent plantar fasciitis.

Gait Analysis

Biomechanical gait assessment identifying running and walking mechanics driving foot pathology.

What to Expect

Step by step
recovery.

Assessment includes weight-bearing foot posture analysis, navicular drop test, single-leg heel raise, plantar fascia provocation, forefoot pressure assessment, and full kinetic chain screening from ankle to hip.

Plantar fasciitis with focused shockwave typically resolves within 3–6 sessions of shockwave combined with a loading program. Custom orthotics are typically dispensed within 2–3 weeks of the biomechanical assessment.

  • Custom orthotics fabricated from 3D digital scan — Canadian-made
  • Focused shockwave for chronic plantar fasciitis
  • WorkSafeBC accepted for occupational foot conditions
  • ICBC billing for foot injuries from motor vehicle accidents
  • Direct billing to all major extended health insurers
  • No referral required in BC
