Heel Pain Doctor Springfield, VA
Is chronic pain in your heels making it hard to walk, run, or even sleep at night? A proper diagnosis of heel pain, coupled with personalized therapy and supportive medical devices for your feet, can help you get back to your regular activities in no time.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the primary causes of heel pain. This is a medical condition in which the large ligament that connects the base of the foot to the front becomes inflamed or damaged. When the ligament is overstressed or torn, it causes excruciating pain and swelling, making it difficult to walk. Many people subconsciously adjust their gait to accommodate the foot and heel pain, which can cause further complications with the function of their feet and ankles.
Our Springfield heel pain doctor gets to the root of your heel pain, evaluating your symptoms and medical history to get an accurate diagnosis of the cause of heel pain. Left untreated, plantar fasciitis-induced heel pain can lead to complicated with the knee and hip joints and back problems, further reducing your range of motion and abilities. We begin with a gain assessment, then review your regular habits and exercise routine. We may also schedule imaging tests to determine the extent of the damage, and check for a stress fracture or pinched nerves that could contribute to or exacerbate your condition.
Your treatment may include a combination of physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and other minimally invasive tactics; we only recommend surgery if the less-invasive methods fail to address the heel pain, or if there is damage to the foot or tendon that must be surgically repaired. We bring considerable experience and care to each patient, so we’re able to develop the right treatment plan for your needs.
