Stem Cell Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis

Stem Cell Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis

There are many painful and persisting conditions today, and plantar fasciitis is one of them. As a result of this, people affected by plantar fasciitis are typically skeptical about how effective treatment options can be. However, there is a need for an effective treatment and management option, and that’s where stem cell therapy comes in.

Read on to understand how stem cell therapy can effectively treat plantar fasciitis.

WHAT IS PLANTAR FASCIITIS?

Plantar fasciitis is a condition caused by the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a band of connective tissues that connect other tissues of the sole of the foot. The plantar fascia connects the heel to the toes and arch of the foot. Typically, plantar fasciitis affects people who put heavy stress on their feet and stand for a long period, specifically athletes.

The plantar fascia absorbs shock and allows structures in the foot to slide smoothly and continuously over one another. However, continuous stress and tension on the arch of your foot can result in overstretching, tearing, and inflammation of the fascia.

CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS OF PLANTAR FASCIITIS

Plantar fasciitis can be painful and make it difficult to walk. The most common symptom is a pain in the heel or arch of the foot. Other symptoms may include swelling, redness, or bruising.

Plantar fasciitis is most often seen in middle-aged adults. It is also more common in women than men. This condition has several possible causes, including overuse, injury, or wearing shoes that do not support the foot properly. Obesity and diabetes are also risk factors for this condition.

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR PLANTAR FASCIITIS

There are a number of different treatment options for plantar fasciitis. Some of these options include:

Rest and ice

This is often the first line of treatment for plantar fasciitis. Resting the foot and applying ice to the affected area can help to reduce pain and inflammation.

Stretching exercises

There are a number of different stretching exercises that can be helpful in treating plantar fasciitis. These exercises can help to stretch the plantar fascia and the muscles and tendons around the foot and ankle.

Orthotic devices

Orthotic devices, such as arch supports or heel cups,  can help to improve the alignment of the foot and relieve pressure on the plantar fascia.

Medications

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, can be helpful in reducing pain and inflammation associated with plantar fasciitis.

Corticosteroid injections

Corticosteroid injections can be helpful in reducing inflammation and pain. However, they should be used sparingly as they can cause side effects such as joint damage and tendon rupture.

Surgery

In some cases, surgery may be necessary to release the plantar fascia or to remove a bone spur that is causing pressure on the plantar fascia. Surgery should be considered a last resort when all other treatment options have failed.

This is an excellent option for patients dealing with incessant plantar fasciitis. First, when compared to the risks associated with surgery, the stem cell therapy option is more effective and safer. Also, it’s quicker than other procedures, so much so that within a few days or weeks, you’ll begin to notice a difference in the pain levels.

platelet-rich plasma therapy helps to reduce the symptoms of plantar fasciitis. It is done by first extracting some bone marrow from the pelvis bone. Afterward, a centrifuge is used to separate the stem cell composition of the bone marrow. Eventually, these cells are directly injected into the affected area.

If you are experiencing pain from plantar fasciitis, it is important to talk to your doctor about the best treatment option for you.
