Introduction
Plantar fasciitis surgery at Nova Foot & Ankle is a specialized procedure aimed at relieving the chronic heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. Our expert surgeons offer effective solutions when conservative treatments fail.
What is Plantar Fasciitis Surgery?
Plantar fasciitis surgery involves releasing the tension in the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, to alleviate pain and inflammation. This surgery is typically considered when other treatments, such as orthotics or physical therapy, have not provided relief.
Benefits of Plantar Fasciitis Surgery
- Eliminates chronic heel pain
- Restores normal foot function
- Improves mobility and quality of life
- Prevents recurrence of symptoms
What to Expect
Plantar fasciitis surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes about an hour. The procedure involves making a small incision to release part of the plantar fascia, reducing tension and allowing for healing.
Recovery Process
Recovery from plantar fasciitis surgery can take several weeks. Patients may need to wear a cast or boot and limit weight-bearing activities during the initial healing period. Full recovery is expected within 6 to 8 weeks.
