Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that affects the base of the sole, making it difficult to walk. It is common, affecting 1 in 10 people, particularly active working adults between 25 and 65 years old. The main symptom is severe pain during the first few steps in the morning.

Treatment options include systematic stretching exercises, night splints, injections, and shock wave therapy. In cases where simpler measures fail, surgery is a good option. This straightforward operation involves releasing a small band of tissue at the back of the knee, and patients are able to walk immediately after the procedure. I regularly perform this surgery and patients are delighted with the outcome.
