About Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis treatment in podiatry is a specialized medical approach to alleviate the chronic heel pain caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue connecting the heel to the toes. A podiatrist, a foot and ankle specialist, provides a comprehensive, non-surgical management plan tailored to the individual. This typically involves a thorough biomechanical assessment, diagnostic imaging like ultrasound, and a multi-modal treatment strategy. Core interventions include custom orthotics to correct foot posture and distribute pressure, targeted stretching and strengthening exercises, and advanced therapies such as extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) or corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and promote healing. The goal is to restore pain-free mobility and address the underlying biomechanical causes to prevent recurrence.

Who is this surgery for?

Persistent, stabbing heel pain, especially with the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest.
Pain that worsens after prolonged standing, walking, or exercise, but not typically during.
Diagnosis of plantar fasciitis confirmed through physical exam and possibly ultrasound imaging.
Failure to improve with basic home remedies like rest, ice, and over-the-counter pain relievers after several weeks.
Presence of contributing factors such as flat feet, high arches, tight calf muscles, or obesity.
Individuals with occupations or activities that involve prolonged standing on hard surfaces.

How to prepare

Compile a detailed history of your symptoms, including onset, duration, and what activities aggravate or relieve the pain.
Bring any previous X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound reports related to your foot or ankle.
Wear or bring the shoes you use most often (e.g., work shoes, running shoes) for the podiatrist to assess wear patterns.
List all current medications, including supplements and over-the-counter drugs.
Be prepared to discuss your daily activities, exercise routines, and occupational demands.
No specific fasting or medication changes are typically required for initial consultation and non-invasive treatments.

Risks & possible complications

Discomfort, bruising, or swelling at the injection site following corticosteroid injections.
Rare risk of plantar fascia rupture or fat pad atrophy with repeated steroid injections.
Temporary soreness or redness after Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT).
Potential for skin numbness or irritation from taping or orthotic use.
Incomplete relief of symptoms, requiring further treatment escalation.
Allergic reaction to materials in custom orthotics (very rare).

Recovery & hospital stay

Immediately after injections or ESWT, rest the foot and apply ice to manage swelling.
Wear supportive footwear as advised, and begin using custom orthotics as directed to offload the fascia.
Consistently perform prescribed stretching exercises for the plantar fascia and calf muscles.
Gradually return to activity based on your podiatrist's guidance, avoiding high-impact exercises initially.
Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan if necessary.
Incorporate long-term lifestyle modifications, like maintaining a healthy weight and wearing supportive shoes, to prevent recurrence.

PATIENT REVIEW

Diya Kumar, a 42-year-old elementary school...

Diya Kumar, a 42-year-old elementary school teacher and mother of two, had always been active. For the past eight months, she had been living with a persistent, stabbing pain in her right heel, worst with her first steps in the morning and after long days on her feet in the classroom. Icing, over-the-counter insoles, and stretching provided only fleeting relief. The pain was stealing her joy, she could no longer join her kids for weekend hikes or stand comfortably while teaching. Her podiatrist, Dr. Mehta, explained that her chronic plantar fasciitis had not responded to six months of conservative care (physical therapy, night splints, custom orthotics) and that a minimally invasive procedure called Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) was the next logical step. Diya was nervous but desperate for change. The in-office procedure was uncomfortable, with a deep, thrumming sensation as the shockwaves targeted the inflamed tissue, but it was quick. The first two weeks were tough, with increased soreness, but by the fourth week, the morning pain began to noticeably subside. After two months of guided rehab, Diya could walk pain-free. The emotional shift was profound, from feeling trapped and aged by the pain to reclaiming her role as an active, present mother and teacher, filled with gratitude and a renewed sense of freedom.
