Consider Platelet Rich Plasma for Plantar Fasciitis
Every year, millions of individuals suffer from plantar fasciitis, a common foot condition. It happens when the plantar fascia, which links the heel to the toes, becomes inflamed and painful. The pain is often worse in the morning and diminishes throughout the day, but if left untreated, it can become chronic.
Stretching, physical therapy, orthotics, and pain medication are all traditional therapies for plantar fasciitis. While these treatments may provide temporary relief, they do not address the root issue, which is plantar fascia inflammation.
At MSK Ultrasound Imaging and Injection we provide Plantar Fasciitis Platelet Rich Plasma in Thornton-Cleveleys
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has recently gained popularity as a treatment for plantar fasciitis. PRP therapy is a non-surgical, slightly invasive treatment that promotes healing and reduces inflammation by using the patient’s own blood, which is high in growth factors.
The treatment works by:
- Blood is drawn from the patient and processed to concentrate the platelets
- The concentrated platelets are then injected into the affected area, in this case the plantar fascia
- The growth factors in the platelets stimulate healing and reduce inflammation, leading to a reduction in pain and improved function
