When your feet hurt, your entire body hurts, especially when you\u2019re suffering from painful neuromas or heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. Generally, rest, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy or orthotics can effectively treat the pain. But when these conservative treatments aren\u2019t enough, chronic heel pain may require surgical treatment.<\/p>\n
At our practice, we can treat irritating heel pain and get you back to your active lifestyle quickly with a new, fast-acting procedure known as Cryosurgery. For decades, this technique has been used for various areas of the body and is now proving to be very successful at helping treat and manage foot and ankle conditions.<\/p>\n
Also known as Cryotherapy,\u00a0Cryosurgery<\/strong>\u00a0is a minimally invasive procedure performed comfortably in our office in just one appointment to alleviate pain and nerve problems of the foot.<\/p>\n Using localized freezing temperatures to deaden the irritated nerve, the treatment involves inserting a probe into the tissue of the foot. The extreme freezing temperatures produce an anesthetic effect, reducing inflammation to the site and causing a mild \u201cnumbing\u201d effect for as long as it is applied. The freezing inactivates the nerve and, as a result, painful nerve irritation is relieved.<\/p>\n Cryosurgery has proven to be an effective and popular alternative for treating many chronic and painful foot ailments that involve irritation of an isolated nerve of the foot. If you\u2019re looking to get rid of your heel pain, but haven\u2019t had much success with conservative treatments, visit our office and find out if you are a good candidate for Cryosurgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Benefits of Cryosurgery include:<\/h2>\n
