Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Central Florida

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain — especially among athletes and anyone who spends long hours on their feet. At Central Florida Foot & Ankle Institute, we specialize in treating plantar fasciitis, combining advanced techniques with personalized care to relieve pain and restore function.

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel bone to your toes. It's typically marked by a stabbing pain that strikes with your first steps in the morning or after long periods of standing.

Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

• Sharp pain in the heel or along the arch of the foot
• Pain that's worst in the morning or after sitting for a while
• Tenderness along the bottom of the foot
• Swelling and stiffness around the heel

Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach

We offer a range of treatment options, tailored to the severity of your condition:

• Physical Therapy — Exercises to stretch the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon and to strengthen the lower leg muscles.
• Orthotic Devices — Custom inserts or supportive footwear to distribute pressure more evenly.
• Night Splints — To gently stretch your calf and arch while you sleep.
• Medication — Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce pain and inflammation.

Advanced Treatment Options

For persistent cases, we may consider:

• Shockwave Therapy — A non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing.
• Corticosteroid Injections — To provide targeted relief from pain and inflammation.
• Laser Therapy — To relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
