What is plantar fasciitis?
The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel bone to your toes. When this tissue becomes inflamed or develops small tears, it causes the characteristic stabbing heel pain — typically worst first thing in the morning or after periods of rest.
Left untreated, plantar fasciitis can become a chronic condition that significantly affects your ability to walk, exercise, and go about daily life.

Treatment option for plantar fasciitis
Ultrasound-Guided Cortisone injection for Plantar Fasciitis
A corticosteroid (cortisone) injection delivers a concentrated anti-inflammatory medication directly to the inflamed plantar fascia. At Alton Pain Clinic, this injection is always performed under ultrasound guidance so we can see precisely where we are placing the medication. This significantly improves accuracy and reduces discomfort.
Many patients experience substantial relief within one to two weeks of a cortisone injection, with the effect lasting several months.
Why ultrasound guidance matters for plantar fasciitis treatment
The plantar fascia sits in a precise anatomical location. Blind injections — those performed without imaging — carry a higher risk of missing the target or inadvertently injecting into the fat pad of the heel, which can cause fat pad atrophy.
At Alton Pain Clinic, every injection is performed with real-time ultrasound visualisation. This means better accuracy, less discomfort, and a lower risk of complications.
