Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain and can affect anyone. On the bottom of your foot, a long band of tissue connects your toes to your heel bone. This tissue is called your plantar fascia. When this becomes inflamed, it is called plantar fasciitis. The pain feels like a sharp stabbing in your heel or on the sole of your foot. The pain is often worse in the morning, or after a long period of sitting. It does not flare during exercise, but after exercising you may feel it come back again. If you are concerned about your heel pain and would like to schedule an appointment, contact us today.

With the Swift Wart Therapy System, individuals receive three to four treatments, spaced four weeks apart. Each treatment lasts five to 10 minutes and does not involve breaking the skin, administering anesthetic or applying bandages. Patients may feel some discomfort as the microwave energy waves rapidly increase tissue temperature during a two second dose. However, the pain immediately subsides and there is very limited post procedural pain. Patients are able to resume daily activities immediately after treatment. Contact us today to schedule your next appointment.
