How Archmaker Helps Treat and Prevent Plantar Fasciitis

If you’ve ever felt that stabbing heel pain first thing in the morning, only to have it ease up during the day and then return the next, you’re not alone. Many people with plantar fasciitis find that their pain keeps coming back, even after rest, injections, or anti-inflammatory medications. The reason? Most treatments don’t address what happens overnight — when your foot tightens and that arch strain starts all over again.

After more than 35 years in practice, Dr. Po Raval has found a lasting solution. Her proven 4-step method not only relieves pain but helps prevent plantar fasciitis from returning, thanks to a breakthrough tool she invented called Archmaker.

A Proven 4-Step Approach to Plantar Fasciitis Relief

Dr. Raval’s approach is simple, strategic, and designed for real, lasting results:

  1. Target the Source of Pain
    For acute, pinpoint pain, an injection — paired with an anti-inflammatory — quickly reduces inflammation and provides immediate relief. In some cases, short-term immobilization using a walking boot or brace helps rest the inflamed tissue and gives the heel time to heal.
  2. Stretch Daily
    Gentle, consistent stretching of the arch and calf muscles is crucial. These stretches reduce tension on the plantar fascia and promote better flexibility and healing.
  3. Support the Arch During the Day
    Without proper support, every step re-injures the fascia. Custom orthotics or quality insoles help distribute pressure evenly, preventing that constant pulling that leads to micro-tears and inflammation.
  4. Stretch Overnight — The Game Changer
    This is where most treatment plans fall short. Overnight, your feet naturally point downward, tightening the fascia again. Without an effective overnight stretch, pain returns each morning — no matter what else you’ve done.

Why Archmaker Changes Everything for Plantar Fasciitis

To solve this recurring cycle, Dr. Raval created Archmaker, a doctor-designed foot stretcher inspired by a dancer’s “pointe” position. Worn overnight, Archmaker provides a gentle, sustained stretch to both the top and bottom of the foot, preventing the fascia from tightening while you sleep.

Each Archmaker comes with easy-to-follow instructions:

  • Start with 1 hour per night and gradually increase to 4 hours over a week.
  • Mild discomfort is normal at first — it’s a sign your foot is stretching correctly.
  • Within 4 weeks, most users notice significant pain relief and improved flexibility.

Unlike bulky boots or rigid braces, Archmaker comfortably keeps your arch supported and your fascia elongated, helping break the cycle of recurring pain.
