If you’ve been battling persistent heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis and conservative treatments haven’t brought relief, plantar fascia release may be the answer. Dr. Kevin Lam, a leading podiatric surgeon, specializes in this procedure, offering a long-term solution for those suffering from chronic foot pain.

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that runs along the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed. This condition often results in sharp, stabbing pain, especially in the morning or after long periods of inactivity. While many individuals find relief through stretching, orthotics, physical therapy, or corticosteroid injections, some cases require surgical intervention.

What is Plantar Fascia Release Surgery?

Plantar fascia release surgery is a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce tension in the plantar fascia. During the procedure, a small incision is made, and the tight portion of the fascia is carefully cut to relieve pressure and inflammation. This can significantly improve mobility and eliminate chronic pain.

Who is a Candidate for Surgery?

Surgery is typically recommended for individuals who:

• Have experienced persistent pain for more than six months
• Have not responded to conservative treatments like orthotics, physical therapy, or injections
• Experience severe mobility limitations due to plantar fasciitis

Benefits of Plantar Fascia Release 

• Long-Term Pain Relief: By releasing tension in the fascia, patients often experience significant and lasting relief.
• Improved Mobility: Reducing inflammation allows for better foot function and movement.
• Minimally Invasive Approach: With advancements in podiatry, many procedures involve quicker recovery times.
