Foot Pain Treatment in India

Reyansh Roy, a 42-year-old software engineer and avid weekend hiker, had been struggling with a sharp, stabbing pain in his right heel for over six months. The pain was worst with his first steps in the morning and after long periods of sitting. His daily 5-mile walks had become impossible, and even standing at his standing desk was excruciating. After trying over-the-counter insoles and ice packs with no relief, he saw Dr. Sharma, an orthopedic surgeon. An X-ray confirmed a large heel spur and significant plantar fasciitis. Dr. Sharma recommended a course of physical therapy and custom orthotics, but after three months with only modest improvement, they discussed a minimally invasive endoscopic plantar fascia release. Reyansh was anxious about surgery but desperate to regain his active lifestyle. The outpatient procedure went smoothly. The recovery involved two weeks in a walking boot with strict non-weight-bearing instructions, followed by physical therapy. After three months, the morning pain was 90% gone. By six months, he was back to hiking moderate trails. Emotionally, he went from feeling frustrated and aged by his constant pain to feeling hopeful and victorious, deeply grateful for the return of his mobility and independence.
