Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Surgery

Plantar Fasciitis Treatment & Surgery

Do you have severe pain in your foot, ankle, or heel –you might be suffering from plantar fasciitis.

What is Plantar Fasciitis

The plantar fascia is a flat band of tissue (ligament) that builds a connection between your toes and heel bone. This tissue also supports the foot arch. In case during a walk and other activities your plantar fascia goes through strain, it becomes weak, inflamed, and irritated. You might feel pain, sensations, and pinning. Your heel or the foot bottom starts hurting when you stand or walk. This condition is known as Plantar Fasciitis.

It is very common among middle-aged people. It might be a problem for youngsters too if they have a routine in which they are on their feet a lot. For instance soldiers, athletes or filed workers.

What are the symptoms?

A Plantar Fasciitis patient goes through mild to severe pain when they take their first steps after resting for a long time like when they wake up and try to get out of bed or after sitting for a long time during office shift. When they take a few steps the stiffness in muscles and pain gradually minimizes in most cases. But your feet may hurt more and more as the day goes on. Climbing the stairs and walking over a rough path is usually painful.

How Can We Help?

Our diagnosis phase includes feet and ankle examination — a study of your health history and the medicines you currently use. We also go through the past illnesses and injuries you have had.

Once we are sure you have Plantar Fasciitis we recommend you a treatment while keeping in mind your daily physical activities. We have footwear and supportive equipment to minimize the pain. We also work to reduce the use of pain killers and muscle relaxant through exercise and massages.

We try our level best to handle the problem without putting patients for Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Surgery. When it is mandatory to conduct a Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Surgery, we consult a number of other podiatric physicians in our clinic for the second opinion.

Plantar Fasciitis Surgery Cost is not as much as it is usually thought to be and if you treat the condition properly you may not even need to go to the extent of having it surgically treated.
