In this video, Dr. Lee breaks down the two phases of plantar fasciitis and how to treat them:

Acute Phase: Marked by sharp, stabbing pain with your first steps out of bed.

Chronic Phase: Requires revascularizing or repairing damaged tissue.

For permanent relief, an Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy (EPF) uses a tiny camera to release part of the ligament, permanently relieving stress on the heel.

What you wear on your feet can make a bigger difference than you think!

Tight nylon hosiery can trap heat and moisture, creating an environment where fungal infections like athlete’s foot can thrive. It can also increase friction, pressure and cramping around the toes.

Make sure hosiery fits comfortably
Avoid wearing tight boots all day
Give your feet time to breathe
