If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, minimally invasive plantar fibroma treatment may be right for you.
A noticeable bump or thickened tissue along the bottom arch of the foot.
Pain or discomfort while walking, standing, or applying pressure to the affected area.
Discomfort caused by pressure from footwear against the fibroma.
Plantar fibroma microsurgery is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove or reduce the abnormal fibrous tissue causing pain and discomfort.
Using advanced ultrasonic technology, a specialized wand is used to emulsify and break down the fibroma through a very small entry point without requiring a large incision on the bottom of the foot.
This minimally invasive approach helps reduce tissue damage, shorten recovery time, and minimize visible scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
Compared to traditional open surgery, minimally invasive treatment offers patients a faster and more comfortable recovery experience.
Tiny entry points reduce scarring and minimize trauma to surrounding tissue.
Patients are often able to walk shortly after treatment with less downtime.
Removing or reducing the fibroma can help relieve pressure and discomfort during daily activities.
Ultrasonic energy precisely targets abnormal tissue while preserving healthy surrounding structures.
Using a high-powered ultrasonic energy wand, the plantar fibroma can be broken down and removed through a very small entry point without creating a large incision on the bottom of the foot.
This minimally invasive procedure helps shorten recovery time, minimize scarring, and reduce post-operative discomfort. Patients typically wear a compressive dressing after treatment and are often able to walk shortly after the procedure.

Sometimes scar tissue builds up in a tendon and causes the tendon to lose its elasticity. At that point, chronic Achilles tendinitis can be treated by removing the scar tissue using a minimally invasive procedure like Tenex. This uses a wand that transmits ultrasonic energy to break through the scar tissue leaving healthy tissue behind. Downtime is minimal and return to normal activity is about a week.
Grab a resistance band (or even a stretchy t-shirt)! Place the band or shirt around the ball of your foot. Pull the two ends of the band or shirt towards you until you feel a nice stretch in the back of your leg. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds, and relax for 10 seconds. Repeat this 5-10 times for both legs!
Achilles tendonitis rarely requires surgery. However, if treatment is delayed or neglected, there could be further damage such as a tendon tear. This would require surgical repair, and although we can do this with minimally invasive techniques, it is better to prevent damage when possible. Don’t ignore your pain. See your podiatrist as soon as possible.
