Plantar fasciitis often causes intense foot pain and makes it difficult to walk, even though you can't see any outward signs of an injury. The orthopedic doctors and sports medicine physicians at Bluetail Medical Group in Chesterfield and Columbia, Missouri and Naples, Florida are experienced in relieving painful plantar fasciitis symptoms without surgery. The practice focuses on regenerative medicine, including platelet-rich plasma and regenerative cellular therapy, to relieve pain and heal tissue naturally.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain for adults, especially those who are active or spend a lot of time on their feet. The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, supporting the arch. When this tissue becomes inflamed or degenerates, it causes intense pain, typically worst in the morning or after rest.
What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis can develop from overuse, tight calf muscles, flat feet, or high arches. Activities that place stress on the plantar fascia, such as running or standing for long periods, increase the risk of developing plantar fasciitis. Understanding the underlying causes helps your physician recommend the best treatment approach.
How Can Regenerative Medicine Help?
Regenerative therapies promote healing of the inflamed plantar fascia tissue. By stimulating your body's natural healing response and reducing inflammation, these treatments can provide lasting relief without the need for surgery or ongoing medication. Most patients see significant improvement with regenerative treatment.
