Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain

Heel pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a podiatrist and one of the most frustrating to live with. At 5th Ave Podiatry, we take a comprehensive, non-surgical approach to treating plantar fasciitis and chronic heel pain so you can get back to walking comfortably and confidently.

We start with a detailed diagnostic assessment to understand exactly what’s causing your heel pain. From there, we may recommend a combination of custom orthotics to support your arch, targeted physical therapy to release tension and strengthen your foot, or advanced injections like PRP or Corti‑Ozone® to reduce inflammation and stimulate healing.

FAQ's About Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain

What causes plantar fasciitis?
It’s usually caused by strain or overuse of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that supports your arch. This can happen from poor footwear, flat feet, high-impact activity, or standing for long hours.

Is it curable without surgery?
Yes—over 90% of cases improve with conservative treatment like orthotics, rehab, and injection therapy. Surgery is rarely needed.

Do injections help with chronic heel pain?
Yes. PRP promotes natural healing using your body’s own growth factors, while Corti‑Ozone® reduces inflammation and pain when other treatments haven’t worked.

What happens if I ignore it?
Without treatment, plantar fasciitis can become chronic and lead to compensation injuries in the knees, hips, or back.

When will I feel better?
Many patients feel relief within weeks of starting treatment. Full recovery depends on how long the condition has been present and how consistent you are with your care plan.
