Plantar fasciitis is a foot condition in which the thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes gets inflamed. The tissues which are affected run at the bottom of the feet and can cause sharp pain in the heel, especially during the first steps after waking up or after standing or sitting for a long time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Laser Therapy Work for Plantar Fasciitis?

Yes, laser treatment has been proven effective for treating plantar fasciitis. Studies show that Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) effectively reduces heel pain and provides long lasting relief following treatment.

Yes, laser therapy is effective in treating chronic heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. It’s especially helpful when traditional treatments have failed to work.

Many of the patients generally start noticing improvement after 3 to 6 laser treatments. However, in more chronic cases, it may take up to 12 visits to fully recover. Results vary from patient to patient, as not everyone responds to laser therapy the same way.

Laser therapy is non-invasive, safe, and doesn’t carry the risks that steroid injections generally have, such as tissue thinning or rupture. It is often the preferred option for patients seeking long-term relief without the potential side effects of steroids.

While the chances of side effects are rare, some patients might experience mild warmth or redness in the treated area during or right after the treatment, which usually fades within hours. However, there is no damage to surrounding tissue, and no recovery time is required.

Causes of Plantar Fasciitis

Prolonged Strain

Activities such as running, walking, or standing for a long period can put a strain on the ligaments at the bottom of the feet. 

Foot Structure

Conditions like flat feet or having high arches, can contribute to Plantar Fasciitis. Even abnormal gait can result in developing this foot condition.

Footwear Choices

Shoes that do not support foot arch, worn out shoes or shoes which don’t fit properly can contribute to Plantar fasciitis.

Age

The loss of elasticity over time can make it prone to inflammation. This is more common in middle-aged or older individuals.

Obesity

Excess body weight puts increased strain on the feet. This increased pressure on the tendons can contribute to this foot condition.

Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

The most common symptom with Plantar fascitis is a sharp, stabbing pain in the heel which is worse in the morning. The heel is often tender and stiff. One might feel it difficult to stretch the feet without discomfort. 

In some cases, individuals complain about swelling in the heel area. Walking or standing for a long period can become painful.
