Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Plantar fasciitis treatment focuses on relieving pain and inflammation in the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot. Dr. Mayank utilizes a multidisciplinary approach, including physical therapy, orthotics, and minimally invasive procedures to promote healing and restore function.
Comprehensive Plantar Fasciitis Care
Plantar fasciitis is heel pain caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament. Dr. Mayank offers both conservative and surgical treatment options, including advanced techniques like shock wave therapy, steroid injections, and minimally invasive surgical release procedures. Treatment aims to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and restore normal foot function for long-term relief.
Symptoms and Risk Factors
Plantar fasciitis typically presents with:
Sharp heel pain, especially with first steps in the morning
Pain after prolonged sitting or standing
Increased pain after exercise or activity
Tenderness along the heel and arch
Stiffness and limited ankle mobility
Pain that worsens with barefoot walking
Chronic heel pain lasting months or years
Associated conditions like heel spurs
Biomechanical factors contributing to the condition
Treatment Success and Prevention
Plantar fasciitis treatment provides excellent pain relief and functional improvement in over 90% of patients. Dr. Mayank's multi-modal approach addresses both symptoms and underlying causes. Most patients experience significant improvement within 6-12 weeks of conservative treatment. For chronic cases requiring surgery, success rates are very high with minimal complications. Long-term management includes footwear modifications, stretching programs, and biomechanical corrections to prevent recurrence.
