Achilles/Plantar Fascia Procedures

---

Targeted procedures for stubborn heel and tendon pain when conservative care isn’t enough—focused on relieving pain, restoring strength, and getting you back to activity.

• Chronic Achilles tendon pain or partial tears that haven’t improved
• Persistent plantar fasciitis with disabling heel pain
• Thickened/torn tendon areas or heel spurs that keep flaring
• Pain that limits walking, work, or sport despite months of care

For the Achilles, we remove diseased tissue (debridement), repair partial tears, and address tight calf mechanics when needed.

For the plantar fascia, a small release reduces pathologic tension in the band under the arch. These are outpatient procedures performed through focused incisions—chosen after imaging and only when non-surgical treatment has been maximized.

• Before: Exam, imaging (often ultrasound/X-ray; sometimes MRI), and a review of your goals and activity demands.
• During (outpatient): Regional/local anesthesia with sedation; procedure length typically 30–60+ minutes depending on findings.
• After: Short period in a boot or post-op shoe; elevation and icing the first few days. A customized plan transitions you to motion, then strengthening.

• Plantar fascia release: many resume light activities in 2–4 weeks, with gradual return to longer walks and low-impact exercise.
• Achilles procedures: protected weight-bearing early, then progressive loading; most return to regular shoes in 4–8+ weeks, with sport-level activities following a structured rehab timeline.
• Guided physical therapy restores flexibility, strength, and confidence.

• Temporary swelling, stiffness, incision soreness, or numbness.
• Less common: delayed healing, scar sensitivity, over-release (for fascia), or re-injury (for tendon).
• Best outcomes come from following the boot/brace timeline, doing PT, and using supportive footwear during recovery.
