This is usually caused by a problem know as Plantar Fasciitis or Heel Spur Syndrome. This will typically give a person pain in the heel and/or arch that tends to be worse after times of sitting, such as going to the movies. This problem can be treated very successfully without any surgery, pills or injections of cortisone.

A treatment plan is designed for each patient which includes only things that are designed to cure the problem, not just mask the pain. This treatment approach is successful in eliminating the problem 85% of the time. Cortisone shots, pills and surgery are usually not needed. We also utilize a revolutionary new treatment for Plantar Fasciitis when other options fail to help. This is a minimally invasive treatment called TOPAZ.
