Brooklyn Podiatrist Keeps Patients Standing Tall With Heel Pain Treatment

    BROOKLYN, NY, April 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Brooklyn podiatrist, Dr. Michael Perlstein, encourages patients to visit his practice's office when heel pain is exhibited. Heel pain is most often referred to as plantar fasciitis, which is an inflammation of the long, dense band of connective tissue that runs from the heel to the ball of the foot.

Heel pain is most often the result of plantar fasciitis, which is a condition that is also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. It can develop from an array of causes such as a stress fracture, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation, or a cyst.

"Heel pain appears to be one of the most common complaints from patients. This is why it is more important than ever to take extra precautions when it comes to protecting your feet. With many of us spending a great deal of the day on our feet, heel pain is often times enough to keep us from completing our everyday tasks," informs Dr. Michael Perlstein, Brooklyn podiatrist.

If a patient's heel causes discomfort or pain, Dr. Perlstein urges patients to begin treatment immediately, whether it is through conservative treatment or surgery. This podiatrist in Brooklyn informs patients that it is important to take all precautions necessary in avoiding heel pain and seeking treatment upon the initial onset of your pain.
