Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, characterized by sharp, stabbing pain typically felt with the first steps in the morning. This condition occurs when the thick band of tissue (fascia) that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes becomes inflamed or develops micro-tears due to overuse or improper support.
Dr. Santosh Varma provides a comprehensive and stepwise approach to treating Plantar Fasciitis in Navi Mumbai. Recognizing that every patient's lifestyle and foot mechanics are unique, he prioritizes non-invasive therapies designed to offload the fascia and stimulate natural healing. His goal is to eliminate your heel pain and prevent its recurrence so you can walk comfortably again.
We begin treatment with a detailed analysis of your foot posture and gait. By recommending custom orthotics, night splints, and specific footwear modifications, we can effectively redistribute pressure away from the inflamed fascia, allowing it to heal naturally while you remain active.
For chronic cases that don't respond to standard treatment, we offer non-invasive shockwave therapy. This advanced technology uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate blood flow and trigger the body's natural repair mechanisms in the damaged fascial tissue without any incisions.
We utilize Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections to treat severe or persistent plantar fasciitis. By delivering a concentrated dose of the patient's own healing factors directly to the site of injury, we can accelerate tissue regeneration and significantly reduce chronic inflammation.
In rare instances where conservative methods are insufficient, Dr. Varma performs a minimally invasive endoscopic fascia release. Using a tiny camera and specialized instruments, this "keyhole" procedure relieves tension in the fascia with minimal tissue disruption and a very rapid recovery time.
Every step shouldn't be a struggle. Dr. Santosh Varma's specialized care targets the root cause of your heel pain, restoring your comfort and mobility.
