Enzyme Injection Therapy for Plantar Fibromas

Plantar fibromas are benign nodules that develop within the plantar fascia on the bottom of the foot. These growths can become painful, cause discomfort while walking, and make it difficult to wear certain shoes.

At Alpine Foot Specialists, we offer enzyme injection therapy as a minimally invasive treatment option designed to help reduce the size of painful plantar fibromas and relieve symptoms. This procedure is performed conveniently in our office while you remain awake and comfortable. The enzyme is carefully injected directly into the fibroma, where it works to break down excess fibrous tissue and promote gradual shrinkage of the lesion.

Benefits of Enzyme Injection Therapy Include

  • Performed in the office without general anesthesia
  • Minimal downtime and recovery
  • Reduced pain and pressure from the fibroma
  • Decreased size and firmness of the nodule
  • Helps patients return to daily activities more comfortably
  • Can prevent the need for surgical intervention

Patients tolerate the procedure well and are able to walk immediately afterward. Treatment recommendations are individualized based on the size, location, and severity of the plantar fibroma.

If you are experiencing pain from a plantar fibroma, schedule a consultation with Dr. Anna Gurrera to determine whether enzyme injection therapy may be an effective treatment option for you.

We invite you to call our office with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
