Planter Fascia Treatment
Treatment programs for plantar fasciitis, a common condition characterized by pain and inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. Plantar fasciitis often causes sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, particularly with the first steps in the morning or after long periods of standing. Our comprehensive approach to plantar fascia treatment is designed to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing, ensuring a swift return to your daily activities. Our experienced team begins with a thorough assessment to diagnose the severity of your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Our treatment options include a combination of non-invasive therapies such as physical therapy, custom orthotics, and targeted exercises. Physical therapy involves manual techniques and modalities such as ultrasound or laser therapy to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair. Custom orthotics are designed to provide support and correct any biomechanical issues, relieving pressure on the plantar fascia. Our skilled therapists will guide you through a series of stretching and strengthening exercises aimed at improving the flexibility of the plantar fascia, Achilles tendon, and calf muscles, which can help reduce stress on the heel and promote healing.
In addition to these therapies, we may recommend night splints to keep your foot in a dorsiflexed position overnight, which helps stretch the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon, preventing morning pain and stiffness. For more severe cases, our center offers advanced treatments such as corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and pain, or shockwave therapy, which uses sound waves to stimulate healing in the affected tissue. Our approach also includes educating you on lifestyle modifications, such as proper footwear choices and techniques for managing pain and preventing recurrence.
Throughout your treatment journey, we are committed to providing compassionate and supportive care. We understand the impact that plantar fasciitis can have on your mobility and overall quality of life, and we strive to offer effective solutions that bring lasting relief.
