Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Pain and Heel Spurs Treatment

Advance Foot & Ankle Solutions, specializes in leading edge treatment for heel pain or plantar fasciitis.

Symptoms include pain when you first get up in the morning, burning, numbness and increased symptoms by the end of the day. The pain is usually caused by tightening of the plantar fascia ligament located on the bottom of the foot. The plantar fascia ligament supports the arch. When you're resting, the ligament contracts. As you start to walk, the ligament pulls and may tear slightly causing pain. Heel pain can also be brought on by trauma, over exertion, ill- fitting shoes or poor foot alignment. Our Foot Doctor initially treats plantar fasciitis conservatively with:

• Custom Made Orthotics

• Laser Therapy

• Anti-inflammatory Medication

• Plantar Fascia Exercise

• Cortisone Injections

Why Custom Orthotics?

Proper foot support is one of the most important treatments we recommend. The purpose of foot support is to stop the ligament from tearing, thereby, getting at the cause of the problem. We often prescribe custom molded orthotics for the best possible foot support. Custom orthotics are shoe inserts that fit into your shoes, which are custom molded specifically to your foot, to correct the faulty foot alignment and bring your foot into a more correct position.

We find that most of our patients respond to conservative treatment with favorable outcomes. For those patients that require additional treatment surgery may be necessary.
