Relieve Heel Pain with Expert Care from Dr. Kent Jarvis at Vital Foot and Ankle
Are you suffering from sharp heel pain that’s worse in the morning or after standing for long periods? You may be dealing with plantar fasciitis, one of the most common causes of foot pain. At Vital Foot and Ankle, Dr. Kent Jarvis provides advanced, personalized care for plantar fasciitis, helping patients across Humble, Kingwood, and Atascocita, TX get back on their feet—pain free.
What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot (the plantar fascia) becomes inflamed. This condition often results from overuse, poor foot mechanics, unsupportive footwear, or sudden increases in physical activity. It commonly affects runners, teachers, retail workers, and anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet.
Common Symptoms:
-
Stabbing heel pain when you take your first steps in the morning
-
Pain after standing or walking for long periods
-
Discomfort that worsens after exercise, not during
-
Tenderness along the arch of the foot

At Vital Foot and Ankle, Dr. Jarvis uses a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating plantar fasciitis. During your visit, he’ll conduct a detailed foot exam, assess your gait, and may order digital imaging to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment Options May Include:
-
Custom orthotics to support your arch and reduce strain
-
Stretches and physical therapy to relieve tightness
-
Anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling
-
Night splints to stretch the fascia during sleep
