Plantar Fasciitis | Ronkonkoma
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common podiatric conditions relating to the foot. It is when the thick tissue on the bottom of the foot (the plantar fascia) becomes inflamed and irritated, making it difficult to walk. This is most often the result of repeated episodes of minor but recurring injury, such as with frequent running or long periods of standing. The pain can be located in the heel area of the foot or in the arch. It is often worse in the morning due to stiffness of the tissue, and also becomes worse after long periods of walking. The pain often decreases with rest.
Diagnosis
Dr. Taormino will examine your foot for swelling, redness and tenderness of the area. X-rays may be taken.
Treatment
Initial treatment usually involves heel stretching exercises, night splints or shoe inserts. Anti-inflammatory medications may also be given. Treatment can span several months to two years before symptoms improve. Most patients will see an improvement within one year. Further treatment may include steroid injections into the sole of the foot, or in certain situations a surgical procedure that releases the plantar fascia.
Without Treatment
Foot pain can continue, and progress into a severe condition that affects the ability to walk. Eventually, permanent damage to the plantar fascia or surrounding nerves may occur.

Patient Testimonial by Danny J
First time seeing the doctor, I've been having problems with plantar fasciitis, for years, on and off. The doctor took time to listen to my situation, and explained in detail step by step what was going . He came up with a plan, on how to take care of it, and so far I am totally impressed. The office staff, took an interest of what was going on with my life and we're very friendly. Will be coming back to continue with treatment and will definitely recommend, to my family and friends.
