Laser Therapy Treats Heel Pain

Heel pain is the most common complaint podiatrists encounter. Many people, roughly 40 million, will suffer with heel pain at some point in their lives. There are many causes of heel pain including sudden weight gain, increased activity, and improper shoes. In addition, arthritis, tumors of the heel and the most common cause- plantar fasciitis can cause pain in the heel or back of the heel.

Heel pain can effect people of all ages from children to seniors and can cause either mild or severe pain. It is common amongst athletes, especially runners. Often the ligament on the bottom of the foot, the plantar fascia, will become swollen or inflammed due to excessive pulling when the foot moves.

Treatment for heel pain will vary depending on the individual's lifestyle and needs. Treatment will begin conservatively with R.I.C.E- rest, ice, compression, elevation. The podiatrist may also recommend stretching. Another painless, effective option that patient's tend to favor is the Laser Therapy.

Laser therapy is a painless in office procedure that is non invasive, meaning no needles or cutting is involved. It is done in the office in about 15 minutes. We have seen great results with this treatment option and patients love the convenience and success rate it offers.
