Effective Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Near Freehold, NJ

The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue connecting your heel to your toes. Overuse or excessive pressure on the arch of your foot can cause the plantar fascia to tear or become irritated. When the plantar fascia becomes inflamed, it results in plantar fasciitis, a painful condition that makes walking, running, and other daily activities difficult. This condition is a common cause of heel pain. If you are experiencing foot and heel pain, the specialists at Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute near Freehold, New Jersey, can help.

Plantar Fasciitis Diagnosis

It’s important to see a specialist for an accurate diagnosis, as plantar fasciitis has similar symptoms to heel spurs, arthritis, Achilles tendinitis, heel stress fractures, entrapped nerves, and tarsal tunnel syndrome. We can diagnose and treat your condition so you can return to living an active lifestyle.

During your appointment, your physician at AOSMI will examine your foot and review your symptoms. We will look for the following to confirm a plantar fasciitis diagnosis:

Limited upward motion in your ankle (dorsiflexion)
A high arch
Flat foot (fallen arch)
Tenderness on the bottom of your foot
Pain near your heel bone

In addition, your physician may order imaging to check for bone spurs or stress fractures.

Treatments for Plantar Fasciitis

We will create a treatment plan if you are diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis generally responds well to conservative treatment. Your treatment plan may include the following:

Stretching the plantar fascia
Wearing a night splint
Custom orthotics to support your foot and prevent excessive pronation (outward and inward roll of your foot)

Your physician may also recommend supportive footwear with cushioned insoles. We will ensure your treatment plan addresses your unique case and gets you on the path to healing.
