Why Your Plantar Fasciitis Isn’t Healing

If you’ve had heel pain for months and nothing seems to work, you may have been given the wrong diagnosis. In this video, Dr Damien Lafferty explains the critical difference between plantar fasciitis and plantar fasciosis, and why many chronic heel pain cases fail to improve with standard treatments like stretching, orthotics, ice, steroid injections, or anti-inflammatories. You’ll learn: • Why chronic heel pain is often degenerative, not inflammatory • What ultrasound and clinical assessment can reveal • The role of collagen breakdown, overload, and nerve involvement • Why temporary relief is common with traditional treatments • Evidence-based approaches that may actually help long-term recovery This video also covers: ✔ Plantar fasciosis ✔ Baxter’s nerve involvement ✔ Ultrasound-guided assessment ✔ PRP and regenerative therapies ✔ Load management and strengthening ✔ Surgical options for recalcitrant cases If your heel pain has lasted more than 3 months, this video may help you better understand what’s really happening and why accurate diagnosis matters.
