Lexington Podiatry is proud to partner with LEX18 in our newest segment: Healthy Strides. Watch our full video here! Our team is dedicated to improving our patients' quality of life with innovative treatment options for managing foot conditions, particularly plantar fasciitis. Let’s dive into this prevalent condition and shed light on new, effective treatments like DPMx.
Understanding Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition encountered by foot specialists across the nation, often intensified by biomechanical conditions.
It presents as a sharp pain on the bottom of your foot, particularly in the heel area. Patients often complain of intense pain that happens first thing in the morning. This is due to the muscles and tendons tightening overnight as we rest. Many individuals describe the discomfort as excruciating, underscoring the need for effective and sustainable relief.
Who Is Affected?
Plantar fasciitis does not discriminate! This condition affects a broad demographic, from factory workers to hospital personnel. Even professionals in sedentary occupations can get plantar fasciitis.
In our practice, we’ve also seen the use of unsupportive footwear contribute to its prevalence. Plantar fasciitis can impact anyone who spends extensive time on their feet, which is why our doctors emphasize the importance of appropriate foot support. For optimal support, make sure your shoes pass the tests outlined in our 2025 Shoe Guide and get scheduled with us by November 28th for your custom orthotics.
Are We Doing Something Wrong?
Contrary to what one might think, the onset of plantar fasciitis isn’t entirely due to anything you’ve done. While lifestyle factors like activity levels, shoe choices, and flexibility play a role, some individuals may be predisposed due to their foot structure or genetic history. We’re happy to announce that Dr. Freels is certified in Functional Gait Assessment, which means we can help you get to the root cause of your plantar fascia pain.
Innovative Treatment Options
Lexington Podiatry is excited to offer DPMx, an advancement in regenerative medicine that distinguishes itself by targeting the root cause rather than merely alleviating pain through steroids.
DPMx repairs and heals tissue, promoting a faster recovery with remarkable outcomes within two weeks. This groundbreaking treatment is easy to administer in office and is revolutionizing how we approach plantar fasciitis care.
DPMx is specifically crafted for podiatric patients, focused on restoring naturally occurring characteristics to your feet and ankles for advanced healing.
This minimally manipulated, DMSO-free, tissue allograft works to restore cushioning where your body needs it most. These structural tissues contain naturally occurring tissue components and extracellular matrix, such as elastin, hyaluronan, connective tissue, and more.
