Introduction

Welcome to The Foot Practice, a leading provider of high-quality podiatry services in the field of health and medical care. With our expert podiatrists and specialized foot care expertise, we aim to provide effective plantar tear treatment to help you regain optimal foot health and overall well-being.

About Plantar Tear

A plantar tear refers to a rupture or injury in the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot. This condition can cause significant pain and discomfort, making it crucial to seek professional care for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Treatment Options

At The Foot Practice, we understand the importance of tailoring treatment plans to individual needs. Our respected podiatrists carefully assess your condition and recommend the most suitable treatment option to support your recovery and long-term foot health.

1. Non-Surgical Treatments

In the majority of cases, plantar tears can be effectively treated without surgery. Our experienced podiatrists may recommend a combination of the following non-surgical treatments:

  • Rest and Ice: Adequate rest and applying ice to the affected area can help reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain.
  • Physical Therapy: Targeted exercises and stretching techniques can strengthen the surrounding muscles and facilitate healing.
  • Orthotics: Custom orthotic devices, such as shoe inserts or foot braces, can provide support and alignment to relieve pressure on the plantar fascia.
  • Medication: Over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribed anti-inflammatory medications may be recommended for symptom management.
  • Night Splints: Wearing night splints can help stretch the plantar fascia and promote healing while you sleep.

2. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

For severe or persistent cases, our clinic offers Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT). This non-invasive procedure involves using high-energy shockwaves to stimulate the body's natural healing response. ESWT is especially beneficial for chronic plantar tear cases that have not responded well to conservative treatments.

3. Minimally Invasive Surgery

In rare cases where non-surgical treatments and ESWT have not provided the desired results, our skilled podiatrists may recommend minimally invasive surgical procedures to repair the plantar fascia. These procedures involve minimal incisions, reduced scarring, faster recovery times, and can effectively alleviate plantar tear symptoms.
