Radiation therapy for bone growths

Plantar fasciitis or fasciosis, heel spur — this name is associated with the specifics of the pathology, in which a hard, spiky “growth” from calcium salt deposits forms in the tendon of the foot adjacent to the heel bone, compressing the soft tissue. The tendon loses its functionality, and any movement of the foot begins to cause severe pain. Radiation therapy can be used to relieve pain in cases where other treatments, such as physiotherapy or medication, have proven ineffective.

Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the ligaments connecting the heel bone to the toes, causing heel pain and potentially leading to the formation of bone spurs (heel spurs). These spurs cause discomfort and pain, especially when walking.

Treatment Methods for Plantar Fasciitis and Radiation Therapy as an Alternative Effective Method  

Treatment for plantar fasciitis includes physiotherapy, medications, and orthopedic devices. Radiation therapy has proven to be an effective method for reducing inflammation and pain when other methods have not provided relief.

How Radiation Therapy Works for Plantar Fasciitis  

Radiation therapy targets inflamed tissues, reducing inflammation and relieving pain. Ionizing radiation can also aid in treating heel spurs, providing long-term symptom relief.

Effectiveness of Radiation Therapy for Bone Spurs  

The method has proven effective in treating plantar fasciitis, especially in patients who have not found relief from other forms of treatment.

Indications for Treatment  

  • Chronic heel pain due to plantar fasciitis.  
  • Ineffectiveness of other treatments.
