Plantar Fasciitis

Medgeeks Clinical Review Podcast

In the latest podcast episode, we will discuss a common foot condition known as plantar fasciitis. It is the inflammation of the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. This tissue plays a crucial role in supporting the arch of the foot and absorbing shock while walking or running.

Dr. Niket Sonpal will go over the symptoms, most common is heel pain and it is usually when taking the first couple of steps. Treatments for plantar fasciitis typically include rest, ice, pain relievers and physical therapy. Surgery may be recommended, but studies have shown that it might not actually help.

We hope you have a great holiday week! Happy Thanksgiving!
