When every step gets your attention.
That first step in the morning. Standing through a workday. Getting out for a walk. Plantar fasciitis can turn simple routines into a daily frustration.
If stretching, supportive shoes, physical therapy, or other treatments haven’t brought enough relief, it may be time to explore another approach.
A nonsurgical approach to stubborn heel pain.
Low-dose radiation therapy uses small, targeted doses of radiation to help reduce inflammation and relieve pain around the heel. It is an option for chronic plantar fasciitis that continues despite other care.
Dr. Prasad will review your symptoms and previous treatments, confirm that this approach fits your condition, and focus on what better mobility would mean for you.
A simple place to start.
Tell us how long your heel has hurt, what you’ve tried, and what you want to get back to doing. You can bring prior imaging or notes if you have them; the Epic Care team can help arrange records.
Your visit is a chance to get answers and a plan that works for your life.
A few practical questions
What are treatments like?
You rest with your foot positioned for treatment while a machine delivers radiation to the planned area. The beam itself cannot be felt, and appointments are brief outpatient visits.
Can I stay active during treatment?
There is no surgical recovery period. The team will discuss comfortable activity, footwear, and any exercises to continue as part of your care.
How do I get started?
Call Epic Care and ask for a consultation with Dr. Gautam Prasad for persistent plantar fasciitis. The team can help with scheduling, insurance, and records.
