Surgery is considered a last resort in any condition and surgery for heel pain is not an exception. Less than 5% require surgery to treat heel pain. Surgery may provide a permanent solution for your heel pain, but it is not without risks.
If all conservative measures fail to relieve heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis, surgery is thought of. Additionally, once pain caused by a heel spur cannot be alleviated or controlled with non-surgical measures, surgery is considered. During surgery, the plantar fascia ligament is released from its attachment to the heel bone besides the removal of the heel spur relieves the mechanical pressure beneath the heel. The plantar fascia ligament tends to attach to the heel spur and enables it to form, it is also released.
