Understanding Plantar Fibromatosis
Plantar fibromatosis is a condition where fibrous nodules form in the foot’s connective tissue. These nodules are typically non-cancerous and are often associated with other conditions like Dupuytren’s contracture, Peyronie’s disease, epilepsy, diabetes, and alcoholism. While the exact cause is unknown, genetics and repetitive stress on the foot’s medial band of the plantar fascia are believed to contribute to its development.
Symptoms:
- Nodular lumps under the foot
- Discomfort or pain when walking or standing
- Swelling and tenderness in the arch or toe areas
Non-Surgical Treatment for Plantar Fibromas
Our comprehensive treatment protocol aims to reduce the size of the fibromas and provide pain relief. All diagnostic assessments and treatments are performed in our clinic, including:
- EPAT (Shockwave Therapy): A 5-10 minute deep ultrasound treatment to promote tissue repair and reduce pain.
- Hyaluronidase Injections: This enzyme helps break down fibrotic tissue, shrinking the fibromas. It is combined with a small amount of cortisone to reduce inflammation.
- Ultrasonic Imaging: Used to guide injections for precise targeting of fibromas.
- Custom Orthotics: Shoe inserts with pressure relief pockets designed specifically for your foot.
This combination of treatments is typically effective in reducing the size of fibromas and relieving pain.
