Typically pain in the heel or arch of the foot. Very common to have pain after rest that reduces with light walking. Can be significant with long periods of physical activity. Caused by flat feet, falling of the longitudinal arch, intense physical activity or simply aging. Proper diagnosis is essential. Treatments include proper shoes for support, taping of the arch, arch supports or custom orthotics, steroid injections, laser, physiotherapy and occasionally immobilization of the foot.
The health benefits of successful podiatry intervention speaks for itself. It can be transformational, helping patients get back on their feet – literally. Treatment doesn’t just successfully resolve a presenting issue – it also gives people back enjoyment in their lives.

(pronounced PLAN-ter fash-ee-EYE-tus)

It's been almost 5 months and I wanted to let you know how impressed I am with how smoothly my bunion surgery and recovery went! I'm not experiencing the pain I had at night before the surgery, was back in my regular shoes at 3 months and the scar is so faint it can hardly be seen. Thanks again!
