Plantar Fasciitis Explained By Chattanooga's Foot Surgeon

Of all complaints seen by podiatrists, heel pain is the most common. But just because it is common, does not mean that it isn't a real pain. Most people suffering from plantar fasciitis symptoms describe a sharp pain in the bottom of the heel first thing in the morning when they step out of bed. Many others will also get pain after getting up off the couch watching TV or after sitting and working at a computer. There is almost never any recollection of an injury. It usually just seem to come on gradually. The inflammation gradually gets worse over time. Although some patients do have bone spurs or heel spurs associated with the inflamed plantar fascia, the spur isn't usually the problem. The good news is that most people with pain in the bottom of the heel can get better quickly and without surgery. There are many simple and effective treatments available. Dr. Christopher Segler of the Ankle & Foot Center of Chattanooga (a heel pain specialist) discusses the treatment options so that you can get relief from your heel pain.




Dr. Christopher Segler is an author, award winning foot surgeon and heel pain specialist who says heel surgery can (and should) be avoided in most cases of plantar fasciitis or heel spurs. He recommends simple and effective treatment or advanced non-surgical therapies for chronic heel pain. Don't let someone talk you into heel surgery!
