Laser Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis in Sanibel, FL

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is a condition which causes inflammation and pain in the heel. More specifically, the inflammation affects a section of tissue known as the plantar fasciitis which runs along the bottom of the foot. This tissue connects the heel bone to the toes. The inflammation of this tissue is most common in runners and is often worst after periods of extended inactivity. The pain is typically described as a stabbing sensation near the heel of the foot. The chronic occurrence of symptoms can quickly hinder daily activities.

Common Treatment Options

Those who suffer from plantar fasciitis often spend several days taking over-the-counter pain medication or hoping the symptoms will dissipate on their own. In cases where symptoms persist, a number of treatment options are used to provide relief. Popular treatments include:

  • Physical therapy
  • Steroid injections
  • Night Splints
  • Orthotic Supports
  • Surgery

Laser Therapy Treatment

Laser therapy has emerged as an intriguing new option for treating plantar fasciitis. This non-invasive procedure has gained popularity as it is painless and believed to be highly efficacious. It is believed that the lasers promote cellular regeneration and provide the stimulation needed to trigger the body’s natural healing abilities. The therapy typically begins with the patient positioning the affected foot on the examination table. The laser therapy device is then adjusted for accuracy. Once everything is in place, the device is activated and the patient simply waits until the therapy session is complete.

Take Action Against Plantar Fasciitis

Patients are often able to return to normal activity after just a few weeks of treatment. Some laser therapy devices have even been approved by the FDA. Laser therapy may provide a potential form of effective symptom relief for plantar fasciitis sufferers everywhere and should be taken into consideration when determining the treatment option that’s right for you.
