FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the main cause of Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar Fasciitis is caused by inflammation and micro-tears in the thick band of tissue (plantar fascia) that supports the arch of the foot. It is commonly triggered by overuse, improper footwear, tight calf muscles, or sudden increase in activity.

2. What is a Heel Spur and does it always cause pain?

A Heel Spur is a bony outgrowth on the underside of the heel bone. Many people have heel spurs without any pain. Pain usually comes from the inflamed plantar fascia attached to the spur, not the spur itself.

3. How long does Plantar Fasciitis take to heal?

With proper treatment, most cases improve within 3–6 months. Chronic cases may take longer. Early intervention by a specialist significantly shortens recovery time.

4. When should I consider surgery for heel pain?

Surgery is considered only when conservative treatments (including physiotherapy, orthotics, and injections) fail after 9–12 months of consistent care. Minimally invasive plantar fascia release offers good results with minimal downtime.

5. Are PRP injections effective for Plantar Fasciitis?

Yes. PRP Injection for Foot Pain is an advanced biological treatment that uses your own growth factors to promote healing of the plantar fascia. It is very effective for chronic cases that do not respond to standard care.

6. Can I continue walking or exercising with heel pain?

You should avoid high-impact activities during the acute phase. However, complete rest is not recommended. Dr. Vyas guides patients with modified activity and specific exercises to maintain fitness while healing.

7. What is the success rate of treatment for Heel Spur and Plantar Fasciitis?

Non-surgical treatment is successful in more than 90% of patients. When surgery is needed, minimally invasive techniques provide excellent long-term relief.

8. How can I prevent heel pain from recurring?

Maintain healthy weight, wear supportive shoes, stretch calf muscles daily, use custom orthotics if recommended, and avoid sudden increases in running or standing time. Regular follow-up with a podiatric surgeon helps.
