When Is Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis Needed?
Plantar fasciitis often worsens without proper care. You should seek treatment if you experience:
- Sharp heel pain, especially in the morning
- Pain after standing, walking, or exercise
- Tightness in the arch or heel
- Pain that returns despite rest or home remedies
- Difficulty walking or staying active
Early intervention can prevent chronic pain and reduce the need for surgery.
Our Approach to Plantar Fascia Treatment
We always begin with conservative, non-surgical care, focusing on pain relief and healing. Surgery is considered only when non-surgical treatments fail.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
- Custom orthotics to support the arch
- Stretching and strengthening exercises
- Night splints to reduce morning pain
- Anti-inflammatory therapies
- Shockwave therapy for chronic cases
- Footwear evaluation and modification
Plantar Fascia Surgery
(When Necessary)
- Minimally invasive plantar fascia release
- Performed under local or light anesthesia
- Designed to relieve tension and inflammation
- Focus on faster recovery and long-term relief
Our goal is to help you walk comfortably again without ongoing heel pain.
