Plantar Fibroma: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment in Podiatry - PiedRéseau Dorval
PiedRéseau Dorval offers specialized podiatric care for plantar fibroma, a benign condition characterized by a firm mass under the arch of the foot. Patients may discover this lump incidentally or seek consultation due to discomfort while walking. Although not dangerous, plantar fibroma can impact daily comfort. Our podiatrists are equipped to assess the situation and provide a tailored treatment plan to address individual needs.
At our clinic, we understand the relationship between plantar fibroma and foot pain. This condition develops in the plantar fascia, and while it may remain stable, irritation can occur with pressure. Our team conducts thorough evaluations to determine the presence of a plantar fibroma, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Our treatment options for plantar fibroma focus on alleviating symptoms and improving quality of life. Depending on the severity of discomfort, we may recommend conservative measures such as custom-made foot orthoses, shoe modifications, and local therapies. Surgical intervention is also considered when conservative treatments do not provide relief.
The PiedRéseau Dorval team includes Dr. Isabelle Gauthier, owner podiatrist; Dr. Jennifer Vuong-Nguyen, podiatrist; and Dr. Myriam Bourgault, podiatrist. Each member is dedicated to providing expert care and support for patients experiencing foot-related issues, including plantar fibroma.
