FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Plano, Dallas, Allen, Texas, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) November 18, 2011 -- Premier Foot and Ankle, Inc, a Plano, TX based podiatric clinic has announced non-surgical treatment options for plantar fasciitis for the patients.

Plantar fasciitis is also known as "heel spurs". It is a serious condition and occurs when the band of tissue extending from the heel to the toes, called the fascia, becomes inflamed and causes intolerable heel pain. It is the most common cause of heel pain, though this can also be due to a stress fracture, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation, or a cyst.

Podiatrists at the Premier Foot and Ankle, Inc. can diagnose the condition & symptoms and based on that they offer various non-surgical treatments including:
1. Stretching exercises that focus on the calf muscles to ease the pain in the fascia.
2. Icing to reduce inflammation
3. Ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory drugs
4. Advice of wearing shoes with a good, supportive arch and a slightly elevated heel to reduce stress to the heel and the plantar fascia.

For more non-surgical treatment options for plantar fasciitis, people can visit the website: http://www.premierfoot.com.

If these non-surgical methods are attempted with pain continuing several weeks later, the podiatrists at Premier Foot and Ankle, Inc. may recommend one or more of the following additional treatments:
1. Injection therapy
2. Padding and strapping, etc.

The website of the clinic is patient-friendly and offers complete information regarding foot and ankle conditions and their respective treatments. Patients can request an appointment through their online website only.
