Dr. Harinstein, Board-Certified Foot Surgeon and founder of Bridgeport Podiatry Center has a new treatment for those particularly stubborn foot ailments. Top pro athletes have successfully used this treatment. It is a simple, non-surgical treatment that takes only 20 minutes to perform. It’s called Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy, and involves injecting your own blood into the inflicted area. Your body’s own cells will help it heal. Muscle, bone tissue, ligaments, tendon fibers…all repair more easily to shorten your rehabilitation. If you’ve tried other treatments for that stubborn foot ailment with little success, give Dr. Harinstein a call at Bridgeport Podiatry Center.
Advice/Commonly Asked Questions
What are Orthotic Devices?
Orthotic devices are custom shoe inserts that are intended to accommodate or correct an abnormal, or irregular, walking pattern. They perform functions that make standing, walking, and running more comfortable and efficient, by altering the angles at which the foot strikes a walking or running surface.
Foot orthotics fall into three broad categories:
Those that primarily attempt to change foot function, those that are primarily protective in nature, and those that combine functional control and protection.
What are some reasons for heel pain?
Heel pain typically is the result of faulty walking abnormalities that place too much stress on the heel bone and the soft tissues that attach to it. The stress may also result from injury, or a bruise incurred while walking, running, or jumping on hard surfaces. Being overweight or wearing poorly constructed footwear can also cause heel pain.
Tips to help avoid heel pain:
Wear shoes that fit well, wear the proper shoes for each activity, warm up and stretch before exercising, do not wear shoes with excessive wear and tear on heels or soles, pace yourself when participating in athletic activities, and don’t underestimate your body’s need for rest and good nutrition (if obese, work on a healthy way to lose weight).
