Yes, that is true. There is not always one factor that results in plantar fasciitis. There are often limitations or weakness in the hip or knee as well or altered gait mechanics changing how and individual strikes the ground. For this reason, having a physical therapist, who can analyze the entire lower chain and identify key contributions to her symptoms, is optimal to a podiatrist who will commonly only treat the foot. Where does your sister live? If she is in a region where there is an Athletico I can assist with referring her to an appropriate clinician if you would like.

My sister is having some issues with her feet and it’s causing her a lot of pain. She needs to find a local podiatrist that will be able to help her and offer personalized treatments.
