Plantar Fasciitis icon

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

This common foot issue happens when the plantar fascia - a fan-shaped tissue near your heel - gets inflamed. The plantar fascia is a thick strip of connective tissue that links your toes to your heel bone, helping to preserve the arch of your foot. When this band is strained, it causes intensely sharp pain, usually in the morning when you wake up and plant your feet on the floor.

Most folks ignore plantar fasciitis because the pain eventually goes away throughout the day. However, if left untreated, plantar fasciitis can lead to weakness and chronic pain, which may affect daily walking.

Some causes of plantar fasciitis include:

  • Playing Sports
  • Standing or Working on Feet for Long Periods of Time
  • Working or Exercising on Hard Floor Surfaces
  • Exercising Without Stretching
  • Wearing Shoes with Minimal Foot Support
  • Long Periods of Standing or Walking Barefoot

Do Traditional Treatment Options Work?

The short answer to this question is not really. Patients with plantar fasciitis will ice the affected area with little-to-no relief since they spend so much time on their feet. It's hard to rest an achy heel if you've got a job that requires you to be on your feet. Anti-inflammatory meds like Advil don't work all that well, either. They may provide temporary pain relief, but in terms of a long-term solution, taking these drugs will cause major side effects.

Causes Knee Pain

What Causes Knee Pain?

If you're an active person or somebody who plays sports often, you're probably all too familiar with knee pain - especially common conditions like patellar tendinopathy. Also called "jumpers knee," this issue happens at the patellar tendon, which is found on the front of the knee just under the knee cap. When living with this condition, most patients experience pain around the kneecap or lower down on the leg around the tibia.

In addition to injuries and issues like jumper's knee, everyday wear and tear will cause knee pain over time. With time, this knee pain can develop into arthritis. If your knees are swollen, painful, or stiff, you may have arthritis in your knees. Regardless of the kind of knee pain you're experiencing, treatment options have been limited to agonizing surgeries and addicting pain medications. But that all changes with shockwave therapy for knee pain in Daniel Island, SC.

Does Shockwave Therapy for Knee Pain Really Work?

Several studies and reviews prove that Softwave therapy can be very beneficial for people suffering from knee pain problems like jumper's knee. A study involving 66 patients with knee pain found that they enjoyed a significant improvement in their reported pain levels with Softwave therapy. In fact, knee pain was reduced by nearly 50% after a single month. When combined with other regenerative and physical therapy treatments at Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine, your days of living with knee pain are numbered.

Causes Shoulder Pain

What Causes Shoulder Pain?

There are many causes of shoulder pain, like deterioration, inflammation, and trauma. Of the many painful shoulder conditions affecting Americans yearly, rotator cuff tendonitis and arthritis are very common. Also called calcific tendinitis, rotator cuff pain is caused by built-up calcium deposits on the shoulder's tendons, which connect your rotator cuff to nearby muscles and bones. This painful condition is usually linked to sports, like basketball and volleyball, or in professions requiring repetitive movements, like in the plumbing industry.

Some common symptoms of shoulder pain and rotator cuff tendinitis include:

  • Swelling
  • Weakness of the Arm
  • Limited Range of Motion
  • Shoulder Stiffness or Tenderness
  • Disturbed Sleep
  • Dull, Achy Pain

Though strengthening exercises and some medications provide temporary relief for shoulder pain, they're not meant as long-term solutions. Luckily, Softwave therapy for rotator cuff pain in Daniel Island, SC, can help.

Causes Shoulder Pain icon

How Does Shockwave Therapy Heal Shoulder Pain?

Shockwave therapy has been shown to work wonders for shoulder pain. Low-intensity shockwaves break up calcium deposits and jumpstart your body's healing processes, stimulating blood flow and healthy cell growth. Shockwave treatment is especially effective for long-term shoulder pain since it releases stem cells, sends growth factors to the affected area, and boosts capillary production. Shockwave therapy has also been shown to break down scar tissue and eliminate trigger points, all of which decrease shoulder pain. This relief is most often long-lasting, unlike other treatments like medications and injections.

It’s no secret that the Daniel Island and Clements Ferry restaurant scene has been booming lately.

In just the past month, the corridor welcomed four new eateries, including a burger joint and a coffee chain – both just a golf cart or quick drive away.

Restaurants now open:

Konnichiwa - 2490 Clements Ferry Road

Konnichiwa, a Japanese chain with locations across South Carolina, recently opened on Clements Ferry Road, taking over the former Hardee’s. The restaurant’s menu features a variety of Japanese dishes, from sushi and steak to ramen and bento boxes.

Dekari Su, a staff member, said the chain decided to open a second location in Charleston.

“Daniel Island has been developing rapidly, attracting families, professionals, and newcomers from all over, and our owner saw a real opportunity to introduce something fresh and unique to the local food scene,” Su said. “Our owner wanted to share our bold, clean flavors and his artistry and tradition with this community and provide a dining option that celebrates both authentic Japanese techniques and a modern, approachable twist.”

Open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., guests can enjoy dine-in or carryout options. Su said the restaurant has already received an overwhelmingly positive response.

“Many of our guests have told us they were craving more variety in the area, and we’re thrilled to have filled that gap with our modern take on Japanese cuisine. What’s been particularly rewarding is how quickly we’ve built a loyal customer base. Whether it’s a busy weeknight dinner or a weekend celebration, we’ve seen people return time and again, and it’s been amazing to witness the growth of this sense of community around the restaurant.”

Dunkin’ Donuts - 838 Foundation St.

The new Dunkin’ in Point Hope has quickly become a favorite for nearby residents, with the American coffee and donut chain offering its famous brews and pastries.

Opening day featured giveaways including offering the first 100 customers free coffee for a year, with people lining up the night before, according to the chain’s operator, Coastal Franchising LLC.

The new store is the operator’s 19th Dunkin’ location in the Charleston area. The Point Hope Dunkin’ is open daily with various hours.

Heavy’s Barburger - 891 Island Park Drive

Located in the former Laura Alberts Tasteful Options space, Heavy’s Barburger serves up a menu full of comfort food, including chicken wings, chili dogs, crinkle-cut fries, and smashburgers. Don’t forget about their iconic “Heavy’s sauce.”

Open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, with a vintage sound system and community-style seating, the new Daniel Island space mirrors the restaurant’s downtown location on Morrison Drive.

Catrina’s Tacos and Tequila - 834 Foundation St.

Catrina’s Tacos and Tequila is now serving up sizzling tacos and fresh margaritas at Point Hope.

The restaurant’s menu is a mix of traditional recipes and creative takes, including fajitas, steak plates, and enchiladas. The Mexican eatery is owned by Yesenia Leon, who also owns VIVA Tacos and Tequila on Daniel Island.

“Our chefs blend authentic recipes passed down through generations with fresh, creative touches, resulting in a menu that is both familiar and exciting,” the restaurant’s website says. “Each dish is a celebration of Mexican heritage.”

Catrina’s is open every day from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Guests can dine in or order takeout.

Restaurants still to come:

Buck’s Deli and Market - 866 Island Park Drive

A gourmet market offering locally sourced, organic, and allergen-friendly foods, Buck’s Deli and Market will include made-to-order sandwiches, homemade soups, farm-fresh produce, and specialty grocery items. Open for breakfast and lunch, the market will also offer daily prepared dinner options.

Owner Gail Buck said the idea of a deli came from the lack of local options for breakfast and lunch. “We thought a deli and market concept, something we’re accustomed to in the northeast, could meet a lot of needs here on Daniel Island.”

The family-owned business is currently undergoing inspections and plans to open sometime this month.

“Our team has been working tirelessly to accelerate the process, especially with Publix closing,” Buck said. “We know everyone is anxious for us to open and we appreciate their patience. We have put our hearts and souls into this and are so excited to open the doors!”

Jeff’s Bagel Run - 1721 Clements Ferry Road

Slated to open in early 2025, Jeff’s Bagel Run will offer freshly baked bagels, spreads, and craft coffee. The bakery will feature 15 bagel flavors and 15 spreads, from roasted jalapeno to brown sugar cinnamon.

“Our motto is bake fresh, bring joy, build community,” said Catriona Harris, the company’s vice president of marketing. “We should be opening in the early second quarter of this year. We are just excited to join this friendly community – we can’t wait to be part of it!”

Ye Ole Fashioned Ice Cream & Sandwich Cafe - 832 Foundation St.

Locally known as a go-to ice cream and sandwich shop, Ye Ole Fashioned will soon offer burgers, hot dogs, crinkle-cut fries, and 32 flavors of ice cream in Point Hope.

The Cainhoy-area restaurant will follow the chain’s old-fashioned diner look and traditional menu, along with a covered patio for family outings.

“Our vision is to serve the new growing community with a family-friendly spot to grab lunch, dinner and ice cream,” said owner Cole Spradling.

“I plan on being involved with the local schools and sports teams, to be a spot for students to come and grab a bite to eat with friends, study and do homework.”

Food will be available for dine-in or carry-out, and it will not include a drive-thru. The store anticipates opening before March.

Firehouse Subs - 838 Foundation St.

A popular sub chain, Firehouse Subs will soon open next to the new Dunkin’ Donuts in Point Hope. Known for its specialty hot subs like meatball and build-your-own options, the store is set to open before March and will offer both dine-in and online ordering for pickup.

16 Handles - 650 Hopewell Drive

This self-serve frozen yogurt shop will offer a menu of 16 soft-serve flavors, over 50 toppings and sauces, and a variety of frozen novelties including cakes, cookie dough, and take-home pints. The store will cater to dairy, vegan, and gluten-free diets. According to Fritz Meyer of Meyer Kapp and Associates, 16 Handles is expected to open in May.

Wings Co. - 186B Seven Farms Drive

Myrtle Beach-based Wings Co. is set to open its seventh location right next to Ali Baba Deli and Catering on Daniel Island, which is known for its signature chicken wings with a variety of sauces and seasonings.

A representative told the “What Now Charleston” media group that the new eatery will be franchisee-owned and is scheduled for a grand opening on Feb. 7.

Video game developer behind Xbox, Nintendo titles opens Charleston office, expects to hire hundreds

A global video game developer with more than 1,500 titles is moving to the Daniel Island area and potentially bringing hundreds of jobs to the region over the next few years.Founded in Japan in 1994, PTW develops games for some of the industry’s largest publishers and studios, including Xbox Game Studios, Sony, Nintendo, ...

A global video game developer with more than 1,500 titles is moving to the Daniel Island area and potentially bringing hundreds of jobs to the region over the next few years.

Founded in Japan in 1994, PTW develops games for some of the industry’s largest publishers and studios, including Xbox Game Studios, Sony, Nintendo, Amazon Game Studios, Blizzard Entertainment and Warner Brothers.

The company will move into part of a 30,000-square-foot office complex at 2387 Clements Ferry Road in the city of Charleston. The space at the Berkeley County site previously was occupied by government contracting giant Booz Allen Hamilton, which partially reduced its footprint but remains onsite.

PTW chose the area as its next U.S. flagship location because of the growing technology sector, the company said in a statement. This year alone, six local tech firms raised a combined $100 million in capital to fund their growth and the local industry is expected to grow by more than 15 percent in the next four years, according to a report by the Charleston Digital Corridor.

“Charleston stood out as the ideal location — it’s a growing tech hub with the perfect blend of proximity and highly skilled talent,” said Sebastien Bisch, vice president of operations for the Americas at PTW.

The company's fifth U.S. studio will be led by Bernhard Rieder, who will report to Bisch and oversee day-to-day operations in the Lowcountry. The site also will serve as a hub to nurture local talent and provide game-development services to PTW’s clients.

The Clements Ferry building was considered a cutting-edge model of energy efficiency when it was developed in 2001 for a local software business. Booz Allen Hamilton took over the space in 2015 when it acquired the existing tenant. PTW will take over one wing.

Worldwide, the video game developer has 40 studios in 15 countries across North America, Europe, South America and Asia.

In August it acquired Ghostpunch Games, known for its contributions to some of the industry's biggest franchises, including Mortal Kombat, Fortnite, Silent Hill, Borderlands, and Civilization.

PTW expects to create hundreds of new jobs in the next few years in Charleston, adding to the already expected 15.7 percent growth expected for the region's information technology sector by 2028, according to a new study from the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce and the Charleston Regional Development Alliance.

The study anticipates the most in-demand IT jobs will be software developers, computer-user support specialists, systems analysts, computer and information systems managers and information security analysts.
