Plantar fasciitis: causes, symptoms and treatments - PiedRéseau Saint-Léonard
At PiedRéseau Saint-Léonard, we offer specialized services for the diagnosis and treatment of plantar fasciitis, a common foot condition characterized by discomfort in the heel and arch of the foot. Our clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to accurately assess and address this condition. Our podiatrists utilize a range of diagnostic tests, including biomechanical examinations and imaging techniques, to determine the best course of action for each patient.
Our plantar fasciitis service encompasses a variety of treatment options tailored to the individual needs of our patients. These may include physical therapy, custom orthotics, and, in more severe cases, advanced interventions such as cortisone injections or shockwave therapy. Our goal is to alleviate pain and restore function, allowing patients to return to their daily activities without discomfort.
In addition to treatment, we emphasize the importance of preventive measures to reduce the risk of recurrence. Our team provides guidance on proper footwear, stretching exercises, and lifestyle modifications that can help manage symptoms and promote overall foot health.
The PiedRéseau Saint-Léonard team consists of Dr. Paryse Mayhew and Dr. Gabriel Cartier, both of whom are experienced podiatrists. Dr. Mayhew and Dr. Cartier have completed their Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degrees and have extensive training in various aspects of podiatric care. They are committed to providing comprehensive assessments and personalized treatment plans for each patient.
