PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Don't Ignore Your Heel Pain, Call Us Today
Plantar Fasciitis is an incredibly common form of foot pain. It involves the inflammation of a band of tissue that stretches from your toes, across the entire bottom of your foot and connects to your heel. The condition is common in runners, overweight people, and anyone who has shoes that don’t provide adequate support.
The symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis all involve varying degrees of pain. Many people experience that “first-step pain” in the morning, including additional pain at the front or center of the heel bone. Anyone with persistent foot pain should call us and make an appointment with Dr. Gelia to see if orthotics for plantar fasciitis is right for you .
Plantar Fasciitis Pain Solutions
Pain from Plantar Fasciitis may be common but there is no single cure all solution. Dr. Gelia will evaluate your case and make an insightful recommendation on your best course of action. In some cases, plantar fasciitis taping using kinesiology tape will provide relief. It’s easy to tape the plantar fascia yourself at home. The kinesiology tape will be applied over your arch from back of your heel to the ball of your arch. This will help hold the fascia ligament in place and prevent strain and stress on it during activity. Leaving the tape on for several days can result in a noticeable difference in the level of discomfort in your foot.
In more serious cases, planar fasciitis surgery may be recommended by your foot doctor. This should only be pursued when actions like orthotics or taping have failed to produce results. Plantar fasciitis surgery involves an incision on the plantar fascia ligament by a surgeon to help relieve tension and release pain. The incision may also reveal bone spurs or damaged tissue in the foot, which can then be removed to ease your pain. No matter your condition, Dr. Gelia will evaluate you and get your life back to being pain free.

Orthotics For Plantar Fasciitis
Dr. Gelia can also assist patients suffering from plantar fasciitis by providing helpful shoe orthotics. These include prescription orthotics that are suited specifically for your feet and your pain problems. Your orthotics will be created using 3D imagery of your feet. They are not generic orthotics like store-bought plantar fasciitis insoles that aren’t suited for your feet.
Plantar fasciitis insoles will provide additional cushion and support for your feet and will help alleviate the pain that can arise in your feet as a result of poor posture, overuse, or ill-fitted shoes. Plantar fasciitis insoles will make your feet feel more comfortable and correct issues related to foot pain or foot abnormalities. Contact Dr. Gelia today to find out if plantar fasciitis insoles would be a helpful solution for you. Dr. Gelia may also recommend plantar fasciitis taping or plantar fasciitis surgery in more serious cases. Schedule an appointment at our podiatrist office today.
