How Your Podiatrist Can Treat Your Plantar Fasciitis

Often, if you’re dealing with heel pain, this is commonly linked to a condition known as plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis can feel stiff and painful and can make it difficult for you to participate in your daily tasks. You might be searching for relief from your plantar fasciitis, and you may not be sure how to treat it. Dr. Mahmoud Salem and Dr. Christina Davison at Salem Foot and Ankle Specialists in Salem and Bedford, VA, can explain how they can help treat your plantar fasciitis and give you relief from recurring pain.

Treating Your Plantar Fasciitis

There are many ways that you can treat plantar fasciitis at home. Your podiatrist might recommend resting and icing the feet, as well as stretching your heel throughout the day. Our podiatrist in Salem and Bedford, VA, will also suggest orthotics to cushion your feet and give you relief from plantar fasciitis pain.

Our podiatrist can walk you through specific exercises and stretches that you can do in the morning and night in order to stretch and strengthen your feet. Night splints can also help you avoid the pain that you might experience when you first get out of bed. You won’t have to hobble out of bed because of the foot pain you have.

If conservative methods don’t seem to work, your podiatrist can walk you through other options that might help relieve your pain. In severe cases, you might need to consider surgery in order to correct the issue with the plantar fascia and help you start walking without pain again.
