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.

I'd been experiencing Plantar Fasciitis for more than a year. The pain in my heels while walking was terrible, and I tried basically everything from stretches to orthotics-nothing worked, or so it seemed. A friend referred me to the Foot and Ankle Center of Arizona, and finally, I made up my mind to make an appointment with Dr. Kris DiNucci. From the initial consultation, I had a feeling that I could trust them. Dr. DiNucci and his professional team developed a treatment plan tailored to my needs, and within weeks, the improvement was out of this world! I am now pain-free and back to my active lifestyle. Many, many thanks!

Following months of debilitating foot pain with plantar fasciitis, I finally found relief with Dr. Kris DiNucci at the Foot and Ankle Center of Arizona. Every morning, it would flare up, and at work, I could not even stand for long stretches. Dr. DiNucci took the time to explain my condition and walked me through all the different treatment options. The whole team was super supportive, and thanks to their customized approach, my foot pain is now completely gone. I recommend this clinic highly to anyone who has to deal with plantar fasciitis.

I'm not saying my experience with the Foot and Ankle Center of Arizona was less than perfect. I had server heel pain from plantar fascia for almost 6 months. The pain got so bad that it would challenge me just to get up from bed every morning. Dr. Kris DiNucci and his staff were indeed well-informed and truly caring in their own way. M_TI they provided a course of treatment that included physical therapy and orthotics, and within weeks, the pain had substantially subsided. Today, I can walk without discomfort, and it is thanks to Dr. DiNucci and his extraordinary team!

My life had become miserable due to plantar fasciitis. I wasn't even able to run, exercise, or even walk because of the sharp pain in my foot. When all other treatments weren't working, I finally went to the Foot and Ankle Center of Arizona. Dr. Kris DiNucci was a lifesaver! He diagnosed the problem and offered treatment that worked wonders. The staff was nice and professional. Because of them, I'm pain-free and can take my walks with my children again. I highly recommend Dr. DiNucci and his staff!
