Plantar Fasciitis

What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition caused by inflammation of the thick band of tissue at the bottom of the foot that connects your heel bone to your toes. 

Plantar fasciitis often results from overuse and is especially common in athletes due to repetitive strains on the tissue.

Over time, the fascia becomes inflamed due to repeat tearing and stretching. Other risk factors for plantar fasciitis include having a high arch in the foot, obesity, and tight calf muscles.

At OrthoNeuro, our Board Certified Foot and Ankle Specialists have helped thousands of patients with plantar fasciitis live active and healthy lives using the latest non-surgical options.

In most cases, the Board Certified Foot and Ankle Specialists at OrthoNeuro are able to treat plantar fasciitis without surgery.

Non-surgical treatment options can include:

• Rest
• Activity modification
• Orthotics
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Corticosteroids
• Physical therapy
• Immobilization (boot or cast)
• Injections
  

Patients who are experiencing the symptoms of plantar fasciitis should not delay a diagnosis.

The decision of what treatments are best for you will be determined by what you and your OrthoNeuro Specialist feel are best.
