FRACTURES

Heel fractures according to their severity are treated through different conservative, invasive and non-invasive ways under the guidance of an expert orthopedist.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Concavity of your foot is supported by the Plantar Fascia which acts as a shock absorber while you walk. Inflammation of this ligament is called Plantar Fascitis or Jogger’s Heel which causes pain and stiffness of the lower side of heel specially when you get out of your bed in the morning.
The condition can be really painful, yet treatable. At YK Orthopaedics we have treatment options including the revolutionising PRP treatment which avoids any type of side-effects and produces amazing results.
