So, what is plantar fasciitis? The plantar fascia connects your heel bone to the ball of your foot and supports your arches. If it comes under stress, irritation and inflammation sets in. If left untreated, plantar fasciitis can lead to irreversible deterioration of the plantar fascia.
Initial therapies that can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain include:
Splinting your foot overnight can help to stretch the plantar fascia and reduce pain.
The Paragon Podiatry team can also treat plantar fasciitis with advanced technologies like radiofrequency ablation and radial shockwave therapy. Plantar release surgery is far less common now that these new treatments are available.
Radial pulse shockwave therapy (RSWT) is an FDA-approved treatment that increases the rate at which soft tissues like tendons heal. RSWT is the most advanced form of noninvasive treatment for conditions like plantar fasciitis.
Dr. Isaacson and Dr. Edwards find RSWT to be a highly effective treatment option that enhances your circulation and encourages damaged tissues to gradually regenerate. They use the Zimmer enPuls RSWT system, which produces ballistic sound waves that cause tiny microtraumas to the tissues in the treatment area.
These microtraumas aren’t harmful but do enough to trigger a fresh round of natural healing in your body. RSWT also makes soft tissue cells release biochemicals that deepen the natural healing processes. As a result, a network of tiny new blood vessels grows in the treated area.
Warts on the feet, also known as plantar warts, are caused by an infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus enters the skin through small cuts or breaks, often in moist environments like public showers or swimming pools.
It's time to see a wart removal doctor if the wart is painful, changing in appearance, spreading, or not responding to over-the-counter treatments. Also, seek professional advice if you have diabetes or a weakened immune system.
Yes, warts on the feet, also known as plantar warts, are contagious. They can spread through direct contact with the wart or indirectly through surfaces contaminated with the virus, such as floors in communal areas.
