FAQs

How long does plantar fasciitis take to heal?

With proper treatment, most patients see significant improvement within 6 to 8 weeks. Chronic cases may take 3 to 6 months. Untreated plantar fasciitis rarely resolves on its own and often worsens over time.

Do I need surgery for heel pain?

The vast majority of patients — over 90% — do not require surgery. Dr. Vohra exhausts all conservative options first. Surgery is only discussed when non-surgical care has not provided adequate relief after an appropriate trial period.

What is the fastest way to relieve plantar fasciitis pain?

The fastest approach combines custom orthotics (to correct the mechanical cause), stretching protocols, and if needed, an ultrasound-guided cortisone injection. Dr. Vohra will determine the right combination for your specific situation at your first visit.

Can athletes get back to sport with plantar fasciitis?

Yes — with a sport-specific treatment plan. Dr. Vohra, as a PanAm Games Gold Medalist himself, designs return-to-sport protocols that account for the specific demands of your activity.

I had an in-grown toenail for 2 years and Dr. Vohra took care of it in 10 minutes. Over the course of a few follow up visits, Dr. Vohra monitored my condition and recommended useful antibiotics and helped me get back to a healthy self. I also appreciated the education on custom orthotics.
