Lateral Plantar Fascia Pain
Suffering from Heel or Plantar Fascia Pain? Get Relief at the Foot & Ankle Center of Arizona in Scottsdale
Heel pain, also known as plantar fasciitis, is one of the most common conditions we see in our office. It occurs when the plantar fascia – the thick band of tissue running across the bottom of your foot and connecting the heel bone to the toes – becomes inflamed. This inflammation can lead to stabbing pain that is often most acute first thing in the morning or after periods of rest.
At the Foot & Ankle Center of Arizona, located at 7304 E Deer Valley Road Ste #100 in Scottsdale, we specialize in diagnosing and treating lp plantar fascia pain and other foot/ankle conditions. Under the experienced guidance of Dr. Kris DiNucci, DPM FACFAS, our team utilizes cutting-edge therapies to provide relief and resolve underlying issues.
What Causes LP Plantar Fascia Pain?
There are several potential causes and risk factors for developing Heel pain, including:
- Overuse from activities like running or hiking
- Walking barefoot
- Having high arches or flat feet
- Wearing non-supportive or worn out footwear
- Age - plantar fasciitis is most common between 40-60 years old
In some cases, sudden trauma like a plantar fascia tear or rupture from landing awkwardly can also cause an acute form of severe heel pain. Identifying and treating plantar fascia tears, torn plantar fascia, and ruptured plantar fascia promptly is important.
Our Treatment Approach for LP Plantar Fascia Pain
At the Foot & Ankle Center of Arizona, we take a comprehensive approach to treating lp plantar fascia pain, torn plantar fascia, plantar fascia tears and ruptures. Our podiatrists will thoroughly evaluate your condition, which may involve imaging tests like x-rays or a plantar fascia rupture test to check for a partial or complete tear.
Depending on the underlying cause and severity, treatment protocols may include:
- Stretching exercises to relieve tension on the plantar fascia
- Night splints to keep the foot and fascia stretched while sleeping
- Orthotics or supportive footwear to reduce strain
- Anti-inflammatory medication or steroid injections
- Extracorporeal shockwave therapy
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections
- For severe plantar fascia tears/ruptures, surgery may be recommended
Throughout your care, our focus is on relieving your pain, restoring mobility, and preventing lp plantar fascia pain and related issues from recurring.
