Plantar Fascia PRP injections
Plantar Fascia PRP Injections offer an advanced, non-surgical solution for individuals suffering from chronic heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is a strong, fibrous band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, from the heel to the toes. It plays a crucial role in supporting the arch of the foot and facilitating movement during walking and running. However, overuse, excessive strain, or prolonged standing can lead to inflammation, microtears, and persistent discomfort, affecting mobility and quality of life.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common foot conditions, impacting over 10% of the population at some point. Symptoms often develop gradually, without a specific injury, and are frequently ignored for months, leading to chronic pain and stiffness. Patients commonly report a dull, throbbing, or burning ache, which is most noticeable:
-
When stepping out of bed in the morning
-
During prolonged walking or standing
-
While wearing flat shoes or walking barefoot
-
When attempting to exercise
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy provides a natural and regenerative treatment by harnessing the body's own healing factors to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue repair. This targeted injection therapy helps improve blood flow, regenerate damaged tissue, and restore function, making it an effective alternative for those who have not found relief through conventional treatments like physiotherapy, orthotics, or pain medication.
By stimulating the body’s natural healing process, PRP injections can provide long-term relief from stubborn plantar fascia pain, allowing patients to regain mobility, return to daily activities, and enjoy a pain-free lifestyle.
