Plantar fasciitis is a common, painful, and at times debilitating condition that primarily affects athletes and people whose jobs require standing for long periods. Other risk factors include improper footwear and a lack of the normal arch of the foot.
In plantar fasciitis, the band of tissue at the bottom of the foot (the plantar fascia) becomes inflamed and injured. This causes pain along the sole or at the heel, which can make walking difficult, especially first thing in the morning.
Milder cases often respond to rest, anti-inflammatory medication, and physical therapy. When those fail, surgery is sometimes recommended. For appropriate patients, orthobiologic injections offer a non-surgical alternative. At IROSM in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Gonzalez treats plantar fasciitis with ultrasound-guided PRP and orthobiologic options aimed at healing the fascia rather than cutting it.
Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to plantar fasciitis. Repetitive micro-trauma from ordinary activity such as walking and standing, combined with the fascia’s limited ability to fully heal (due in part to poor blood supply), leads to chronic degeneration of the plantar fascia. Over time the tissue becomes swollen and structurally weakened.
Plantar Fasciitis surgery is an invasive procedure. In many cases, surgeons will attempt to
fix the underlying problem by cutting the Plantar Fasciitis through an incision in the skin. Complicating factors to these
surgeries include prolonged downtime, ineffective pain relief, altered walking mechanics, and more serious risks such infection and blood clots.
Traditionally, plantar fasciitis has been treated surgically, often by cutting the plantar fascia. IROSM’s regenerative approach is a minimally invasive, same-day injection procedure designed to reduce pain and improve function, with the aim of healing and preserving the fascia rather than cutting it.
Compared with surgery, the procedure is less invasive, carries less risk of complication, and in many cases involves less downtime. Most importantly, this tissue-preserving approach keeps your plantar fascia intact.
The treatment uses cells from your own body to support your natural healing response, reduce pain, and help you get back to the activities you enjoy.
Regenerative treatments are generally not covered by insurance. We are transparent about cost at your consultation and will discuss the options available to you.
Can plantar fasciitis be treated without surgery in Fort Lauderdale?
For many patients, yes. Non-surgical and regenerative options such as PRP can reduce pain and support healing without cutting the fascia. Whether it is right for you is determined at your consultation.
Am I a candidate for PRP for plantar fasciitis?
The best way to find out is a short evaluation. Dr. Gonzalez examines the area, reviews any imaging, and gives you an honest answer on whether this option fits your case.
How much does plantar fasciitis treatment cost?
It depends on the treatment and how many sessions you need. Regenerative treatments are generally not covered by insurance, and we confirm your exact cost at your consultation.
