Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Mountain View
Are you looking for effective plantar fasciitis treatment and heel pain relief in the Mountain View area? Severe heel pain can be caused by plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the ligaments that run from the heel to the toes. This condition can make it painful to walk, limiting mobility. At Allied Pain & Spine Institute in Mountain View, we have a team of medical specialists that can create treatment plans to help heal plantar fasciitis and give relief for our patients.
Plantar fasciitis is often caused by degeneration of the tissue but can be worsened by straining the ligaments. This often occurs with people who are on their feet for long periods, have flat arches, are overweight or turn their feet inward when they walk. Once the ligaments are damaged, it can take time and treatment to restore the feet to good health.
Treatment may be different for each person. Our Mountain View team at Allied Pain & Spine Institute can find a treatment plan that can help reduce the pain while strengthening and healing the ligaments in the feet. Physiotherapy with stretching and strengthening exercises can be part of the treatment. We also offer anti-inflammatory medications that can reduce pain and discomfort.
