Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia — the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot connecting the heel bone to the toes. It typically causes a sharp, stabbing pain that is often worst with the first steps in the morning.

Symptoms

Common symptoms include sharp heel pain especially with first steps in the morning or after periods of rest, pain after prolonged standing or physical activity, and tenderness along the bottom of the heel.

Common Causes

Plantar fasciitis is often caused by overuse, prolonged standing, obesity, tight calf muscles, or structural foot issues such as flat feet or high arches that place excessive strain on the plantar fascia.

Treatment and Process

Dr. Ritu Pauranik provides targeted, minimally invasive treatment for plantar fasciitis, including injection of corticosteroid or Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) under ultrasound (USG) guidance. USG-guided injections ensure precise delivery to the exact site of inflammation, improving both safety and effectiveness. These procedures are combined with physiotherapy guidance and activity modification for the best long-term outcome.
