Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Degeneration of the thick band of tissue on the sole of the foot.
Overview
What Plantar Fasciitis Actually Is
The hallmark is pain with the first steps in the morning that eases and then returns after being on your feet. Long-standing cases are degenerative rather than inflammatory, which is why anti-inflammatories alone underperform and PRP into the abnormal tissue plus loading does better.
Also called: plantar fasciopathy, heel pain
Symptoms patients describe
- Sharp heel pain with the first steps in the morning
- Pain returning after long periods of standing
- Tenderness on the inside of the heel
- Symptoms worse in flat, unsupportive shoes
Diagnosis
How It's Confirmed Here
- 01
Hands-on exam
Each structure is loaded separately so the source is narrowed before any imaging is ordered.
- 02
Imaging review
Your existing films are reviewed independently by Dr. Hyzy — not just the outside report.
- 03
In-room ultrasound
Dynamic imaging while you move, so tissue quality and behavior are seen live.
- 04
Diagnostic guided injection
When more than one structure could be responsible, a targeted block confirms which one is.

FAQs
Plantar Fasciitis — Questions Patients Ask
Do heel spurs cause this?
Generally no. Spurs are common in painless heels. The tissue quality of the fascia is what matters.
