Plantar Fasciitis Surgery
Cutting your foot probably won't help you.

In my professional opinion, like all surgery for tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis Surgery is a bad idea. This of course includes surgery on the Plantar Fascia).

I only say that because you can actually heal yourself, with the RIGHT activities and information.

And, looking at it purely from a structural point of view, weakening or removing the pillars of a bridge just doesn't make the bridge stronger. Same goes for partially or completely severing the supportive structures (plantar fascia) of your foot.

You have Plantar Fasciitis. Should you get surgery?

Only a very small number of people are candidates for Plantar Faciitis Surgery.

Doctors and Surgeons will give you all sorts of good reasons for Plantar Fasciitis Surgery. You may want to listen to them.

In your particular case, especially if you have a SEVERE case, it may be the best option...

Maybe.

Could be.

But I’m not convinced.

Not even a little bit.

What is Plantar Fasciitis Surgery?

Plantar Fasciitis Surgery is named medically as a Plantar Fasciotomy.

This means that a surgeon cuts the Plantar Fascia either partially or completely away from its connection to your heel bone.

Maybe that will help, but in the process of separating the structural supports that hold your foot together it creates a lot more scar tissue. Cutting anywhere on the body results in the formation of scar tissue.

Scar tissue is already part of the problem.

And cutting the connections of a major piece of connective tissue from its bony anchor....is like taking steel beams out of the walls of a skyscraper.

This particular method makes your foot unstable, and that will cause many different kinds of problems down the road.

What Plantar Fasciitis Surgery can't do

Plantar Fasciitis Surgery does NOT:

* Does NOT reverse the Pain Causing Dynamic that is resulting in more and more pain and problem

* Does NOT Stop the Inflammation cycle going on in your foot

* Does NOT correct the factors that helped cause your Plantar Fasciitis, like being overweight, having a bad stride, standing on your feet all day, nor being flat footed

* Does NOT magically cure your foot. If nothing else, it’s not an easy fix. You still have to do rehab.

The Bad News about Plantar Fasciitis Surgery

There is no magic pill.

The pain of Plantar Fasciitis won’t go away on its own, and it can’t be fixed by surgery.

Plantar Fasciitis Tendonitis is too complex of a problem to be fixed by surgery.

Best case scenario? Plantar Fascia Surgery will temporarily help reduce pain and limitation.

After the direct damage that the surgery causes heals.

Notice that I said Temporarily.

You may get years of benefit. Very few do.

Your doctor certainly won’t guarantee you any results or give you your money back if their Plantar Faciitis Surgery doesn’t work to your satisfaction.

No medical institution will claim that they can fix your foot pain.
