Heel pain is a very common problem, affecting many people, knowing of its existence with each step. Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. The intensive heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as a stress fracture, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation or, rarely, a cyst.
Because there are several potential causes, it is important to have heel pain properly diagnosed. In order to set up the accurate treatment plan in most cases besides the specialist examination, additional examinations (e.g. X-ray) may be necessary and carried out at our Institute.
The combined laser-cryotherapy carried out at ORMOS Insitute provides a unique opportunity for the painless, effective and non-exhausting treatment of heel spur with no side effects. The pain can be eliminated without surgery or medication.
Focusing the laser beam to the painful area improves the tissue metabolism and makes the body's self healing processes work more quickly. It is followed by an intensive cooling that will reduce - or even eliminate the sensation of pain.
