Flip-flops: Friend or foe? The truth is, they’re a bit of both.

While they are excellent for preventing athlete's foot in public showers and poolside areas, wearing them as everyday shoes is a leading cause of plantar fasciitis and heel pain. Without proper arch support and alignment, your feet have to work twice as hard to keep you moving.

Keep the flip-flops by the pool, and choose supportive sandals for the rest of your summer adventures.

If foot pain is keeping you from enjoying the season, our team is here to help.

When conservative treatment hasn’t relieved chronic plantar fasciitis, patients are often told surgery is the next step. But not all procedures are the same.

Here’s why many patients are choosing Orthotripsy® ESWT over traditional EPF surgery:

ORTHOTRIPSY® ESWT
✔ Performed right in our office
✔ Local anesthesia only, you stay awake
✔ No surgical incisions
✔ Back in regular shoes the same day
✔ Minimal downtime with most patients resuming normal activities within days
✔ No long recovery period
✔ No dependence on rigid orthotics afterward
✔ Designed to stimulate healing by increasing blood flow and breaking down damaged tissue

Traditional EPF Surgery
• Requires sedation and a surgical facility
• Involves cutting/releasing the plantar fascia
• Often requires post-op pain medication
• 6 to 8 weeks in a surgical boot or surgical shoe
• Recovery can take 6 to 12 months
• Long-term dependence on rigid arch supports is common
• Altering the foot’s natural shock absorber can lead to arch instability and other joint pain over time

If chronic heel pain has been affecting your daily life, Mid-Ohio Foot & Ankle Specialists can help determine whether Orthotripsy is the right solution for you. Flexible payment options including HSA/FSA, Cherry, and CareCredit are available.

One of the biggest differences between Orthotripsy® ESWT and traditional EPF surgery is the recovery timeline.

With EPF surgery, patients are often facing weeks in a boot, time away from work, activity restrictions, and a recovery process that can take up to a year before full results are achieved.

Orthotripsy® is different.

This non-surgical procedure is designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing response without cutting or releasing the plantar fascia. Most patients are walking immediately after treatment, back in regular shoes the same day, and returning to normal daily activity within just a few days.

While healing continues over several weeks, many patients begin noticing improvement early in the recovery process, with continued progress and pain reduction over time.

Orthotripsy® Healing Timeline:
✔ Day 1–3: Initial healing and early improvement for many patients
✔ Weeks 2–4: Tissue rebuilding and reduced morning pain
✔ Weeks 6–12: Peak improvement phase for most patients
✔ Week 16: Continued stabilization and full healing progression

Compared to the lengthy downtime and surgical recovery associated with EPF, Orthotripsy allows patients to stay active, avoid surgical disruption of the plantar fascia, and return to their routine much sooner.

If chronic plantar fasciitis has been limiting your lifestyle, Mid-Ohio Foot & Ankle Specialists can help determine whether Orthotripsy® is the right treatment option for you. Tap the link in our bio to request a consultation!

Happy National Running Day! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Whether you’re training for your next race, heading out for a morning jog, or simply getting your steps in, today is the perfect reminder to take care of your feet and body before you hit the pavement.

A few important running best practices to keep in mind:

✔️ Stretch and warm up before your run
Dynamic stretching and a proper warm up can help prepare your muscles and joints for movement and may reduce your risk of injury.

✔️ Wear the right running shoes
Proper footwear matters. Running in shoes that fit correctly and provide the right support for your foot type can help improve comfort and reduce strain on your feet, ankles, and knees.

✔️ Replace worn out shoes regularly
Most running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on wear patterns and activity level.

✔️ Increase mileage gradually
Avoid sudden jumps in distance or intensity. Gradual progression helps reduce overuse injuries like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and stress injuries.

✔️ Listen to your body
Persistent foot, heel, or ankle pain is not something to “push through.” Early evaluation and treatment can help prevent more serious problems down the road.

If foot or ankle pain is slowing you down, our team is here to help you stay active and moving comfortably.
