Plantar Fasciitis Dry Needling in Columbia SC | Heel Pain Treatment

First-step pain in the morning is a hallmark sign of plantar fasciitis.
If the video above hit home, you’re not alone. At Vertex PT Specialists in Columbia, SC, we use dry needling to directly address both the muscular and structural drivers of plantar fasciitis.

Treatment includes not only calf needling, but also perineural needling throughout the foot and periosteal pecking at the insertion point of the plantar fascia on the medial calcaneal tubercle. This helps stimulate a beneficial inflammatory response and jumpstart the healing process.
