What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is a ligament that connects the back of your heel to your toes on the bottom of your feet, bracing the arch of your foot and acting as a shock absorber. It lowers the pressure and stress on your feet and ankles when standing, walking, running, or jumping. Patients develop plantar fasciitis from excess pressure on the ligament, causing inflammation and tiny tears in the tissue. Plantar fasciitis symptoms vary in type and severity, but the most common tell-tale symptom is pain in your heel. You might also notice increased pain after exercise but no pain during your workout. This pain can last for months and cause swelling in the heel. You might also have tightness in your Achilles tendon. Anyone can develop plantar fasciitis. However, the foot condition is common in athletes, especially runners, people with a high foot arch, and people who spend long periods on their feet.

Tenex™ treatment
Tenex is a minimally invasive procedure using innovative technology to break up scar tissue and remove damaged tissue. This plantar fasciitis surgery, known as minimally invasive surgery (MIS), uses tiny incisions and specialized tools to ease symptoms. Compared to the usual open surgery, it is less invasive, leading to less pain, scarring, and recovery time. MIS aims to target inflamed foot tissue, offering relief and faster healing. It’s a helpful choice for those seeking a better solution after trying other treatments.
