Your Achilles tendon is a thick piece of tissue that extends from the heel of your foot up towards your ankle. Due to overuse and/or injury, it can develop tendinitis. This is the result of small tears in the tendon not being able to adequately repair themselves, which can cause prolonged pain, inflammation, and decreased mobility. Tendinitis is very treatable, and we can take away a patient’s immediate pain, help them finally heal, and ensure they enjoy long-term relief.

Along the bottom of your foot is a band of thick, fibrous tissue called the plantar fascia, which helps support your arch. Patients with plantar fasciitis tend to experience severe pain and stiffness in this area, particularly in the morning. This is because the tissue has become partially torn, which can be the result of certain exercises, activities, or negative walking habits that place excess stress on the feet. With physical therapy and injectable treatments, we can help a patient’s feet finally heal as they should, which will make the pain go and stay away.
