It will happen to you.  If you ask, it has happened to your friends, neighbors, coworkers.  It's pain in your heel.  First thing in the morning, you get up, and once your foot hits the floor, you want to fall down and cry.  It is very common, occurs to everyone, and won’t go away by itself.

It is heel pain, or plantar fasciitis.  That morning pain in the heel that makes you hop to the bathroom.  It makes you afraid to get out of the car when you get to work.  It makes you afraid to exercise.  And it hurts!

So why do you get this?

The plantar fascia is a band of tissue on the bottom of your foot that starts on your heel and goes all the way to your toes.

For multiple different reasons, such as injury, weight, pronation, overuse, or just wear and tear, this tissue becomes inflamed. And it hurts.

For years, the doctors at WeTreatFeet have been treating this using the most modern and best proven techniques.

Did you know that 98% of the time this is not a surgical issue?

Did you know that for the 2% who fail conservative therapies there are now nonsurgical techniques such as PRP, ESWT, and even Botox? Well we do. At WeTreatFeet we offer people who suffer from heel pain all current options. Working with several suppliers, we are able to provide care that you might not even know about. We have the latest techniques for making orthotics, modern therapies, and traditional treatments.

In Northwest Hospital's Gala video, a patient of We Treat Feet's Dr. Mike Daniels recalls the procedure that ended up saving him his foot. The patient had a very serious condition which combined with his diabetes would have required amputation for most patients without the aggressive treatment provided by Dr. Daniels and his colleagues at Northwest Hospital.

Foot complications in diabetes are common yet the link between the two is not very well-known. Here to tell us more about it ahead of World Diabetes Day on 14 November is specialist and author for Journal of Foot and Ankle Research Trevor Prior, with colleague Debbie Coleman.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is strengthening an existing label warning that non-aspirin nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke.

Based on the FDA’s review of new safety information, it is now requiring updates to the drug labels of all prescription NSAIDs.
