Every week, patients walk into our Reseda office having endured heel pain for months — sometimes years. The truth: the longer you wait, the harder plantar fasciitis and related conditions are to treat. Here is what Valley residents should know.

What Causes Heel Pain?

The most common culprit is plantar fasciitis — inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. Other causes include Achilles tendonitis, heel spurs, and rear foot arthritis.

Why Early Treatment Matters

Untreated heel pain changes the way you walk. That altered gait can trigger knee, hip, and back problems — turning one issue into four. Early-stage plantar fasciitis often resolves with conservative care: stretching programs, custom orthotics, and extracorporeal shockwave therapy, all available at our Reseda office.

Advanced Options When You Need Them

For stubborn cases, Dr. Shawn S. Rabbani, DPM offers ultrasound-guided injections and minimally invasive procedures — over 20 years of experience serving the San Fernando Valley from our office at 18909 Sherman Way.
