Testimonials:

I am 65 years old and have suffered from heel pain for several years and took early retirement because of it. I was afraid that surgery was the only solution for my foot and so put off going to the doctor. My daughter eventually took me to see Dr. LeBeau at his Foot and Ankle clinic. Now I wished I had come sooner.

Safe, reliable relief from disabling foot pain.

With heel pain or plantar fasciitis, the bottom of your foot may hurt when you stand, especially after you get out of bed first thing in the morning. Without heel pain diagnosis and heel pain treatment, plantar fasciitis can lead to painful heel spurs and chronic disabling pain. Over-pronation (flatfeet) is the leading cause of plantar fasciitis. Your arch can collapse from weight-bearing, causing the plantar fascia to stretch away from the heel bone. When you stand, your plantar fascia is pulled tight like a bowstring. During a long rest, the plantar fascia contracts back to its original shape and your pain is reduced.

Plantar fasciitis is also called heel spur syndrome. It can be treated using a variety of conservative approaches such as anti-inflammatory medicines, orthotic shoe inserts and foot physical therapy modalities (heat, ice, massage and therapeutic exercise).

With the experience and skill of podiatrist Thomas A. LeBeau, DPM, at St. Augustine Foot and Ankle, you can walk away from plantar fasciitis without surgery. So for lasting relief, call 904-824-0869. Please feel free to use our online Request an Appointment form.
