Our Plantar Fasciitis Approach

We treat plantar fasciitis with a comprehensive, step-by-step approach—beginning with a precise diagnosis and followed by personalized treatment options designed to relieve pain and restore mobility.

Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis is key to successful treatment. Our providers conduct thorough clinical exams and use diagnostic imaging, such as ultrasound or X-rays, to rule out other causes of heel pain like stress fractures or nerve entrapments. By identifying the root cause early, we can recommend the most effective treatment path.

Conservative Treatment Options

Most cases of plantar fasciitis respond well to non-surgical treatments. These may include:

  • Custom orthotics to support your arch
  • Stretching routines and physical therapy
  • Anti-inflammatory medications or steroid injections
  • Night splints to reduce morning pain

Our goal is to reduce your pain quickly while promoting long-term healing.

Advanced And Regenerative Options

For persistent or severe cases, we offer advanced therapies including:

  • Shockwave therapy to stimulate tissue repair
  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections
  • Ultrasound-guided fasciotomy for resistant cases

We focus on treatments that not only address symptoms but also help your body heal more effectively.
