Plantar Fasciitis Downtown NYC at Manhattan Footcare with Dr. Steven Menna.

Plantar Fasciitis Downtown NYC

Your feet hurt with the thought of walking. The feeling of Plantar Fasciitis is unlike any other pain that you will feel in your feet. In Downtown NYC, Dr. Steven Menna, DPM understands that pain, and understands what needs to be done so that you can walk without your feet hurting.

Plantar Fasciitis is a serious medical condition that is brought on by inflammation. This inflammation is mostly caused by an injury to the ligament in your foot called plantar fascia. This ligament is located between the front bone in the heel of your foot, and the end of your toes. This ligament is what supports the arch of your foot. When this ligament is injured, it causes severe pain that no over the counter medication will be able to stop. The more you walk around with this injury without seeing a well-trained doctor that truly understands the cause of Plantar Fasciitis, the worse and more painful this condition will become.

The common symptoms of this increasingly painful condition are:

- Pain in the sole of your foot
- Pain in the heel of your foot
- Pain in your toes
- Severe pain on the bottom of your foot in the morning

The first step to treat Plantar Fasciitis is by getting a very thorough medical exam from a doctor that understands this condition. If you go too long without getting appropriate medical treatment from a qualified doctor, then your chances of having surgery on your foot increases. In other severe cases, the patient will have to receive corticosteroid injections into one of the tenderest areas of your foot, the area between these ligaments.



Visiting a well qualified and caring doctor, such as Dr. Menna, who understands that the pain that is associated with Plantar Fasciitis is severe and the only way to prevent it from getting worse is to have plantar fasciitis treated as quickly as possible. Dr. Menna can administer an exam and begin treatment immediately, as well as suggest everyday things that you can do to prevent the severe pain that is felt from Plantar Fasciitis.

Pain in one isolated part of the body can spread, so call Dr. Menna today, and let a doctor that not only understands the pain that you are feeling, but understands how important treatment is, and knows what treatments work.
