What is it?
Plantar Fasciitis is the inflammation of fascia (connective tissue from heel to ball of the foot) to the plantar surface.

Types
There are two types of Plantar Fasciitis. They are acute (can be triggered by acute injury) and chronic (a classic case that becomes worse over time).

Causes
Plantar fasciitis is caused due to burden of the plantar fascia leading to inflammation, pain, and even the growth of bone spurs. This case can be more complicated by unfit shoes and other chronic irritation.

Symptoms
The difficulty is walking after a prolonged period of rest, heat, swelling, redness, pain are the symptoms of Plantar fasciitis.

Consequences if left untreated
Over time of not treating Plantar Fasciitis, we face hip, back, and knee pain. The other muscles, ligaments, and tendons work a bit harder to compensate for Plantar Fasciitis

Treatment
When Plantar Fasciitis is caught early, the conservative treatment options are enough as a remedy. They are exercises, shoe recommendations, orthotic devices, etc.

In severe cases, Plantar Fasciitis requires advanced surgical treatment. These treatments must be performed only under the supervision of expert doctors. Dr Pawan Sadhvani is an expert orthopaedic surgeon in Secunderabad, Hyderabad.

Dr Pawan Sadhvani, MBBS, MS (Orthopaedics) is specialised in Foot and Ankle. He treated thousands of patients of all ages, who are now free from foot and ankle-related issues.

Many podiatrists and physical therapy experts hesitate to recommend a specific shoe type for this condition. That's because each person needs a careful evaluation to figure out what's best for their feet.

This is exactly what Foot culture specialises in. We will design highly customised shoes that will provide comfort and support to our clients by reducing the impact of their weight on their feet. The aim of this is to minimise pressure on sensitive areas such as the plantar fascia.

Our tailor-fit shoes will also provide varying levels of shock absorption to reduce the impact of walking on hard surfaces.

If you are suffering from plantar fasciitis, then Foot culture is the place to be. Not only does our clinic provide you with medication, and treatment options but will also provide you with corrective shoes to improve your feet health.
