Plantar fasciitis can last for many months. It can be painful, annoying, and interrupt the activities you love, as well as basic activities such as getting out of bed in the morning. Many people spend months trying to sleep in awkward boots and other contraptions sold in magazines without any sustained relief, when often an office procedure involving platelet rich plasma (“PRP”) can heal plantar fasciitis quickly.

Dr. Bennett is the Tampa Bay area’s orthopedic PRP and adult stem cell expert, with years of experience customizing treatments for specific injuries using his 5 different pieces of centrifugal equipment. He has successfully treated Plantar Fasciitis with this in-office injection, which entails drawing the patient’s blood (similar to any routine blood test), spinning it immediately in one of the centrifuges to concentrate platelets and other blood components, which are then injected into the site of injury and signal the body’s natural healing processes. Dr. Bennett routinely helps patients avoid surgery with PRP for tendon tears, arthritis, and other orthopedic conditions. He also uses PRP with surgery to speed healing, and has documented significant accelerated recovery times in patients who have had bilateral knee or shoulder procedures (one shoulder or knee with PRP and one without), minimizing the need for and cost of physical therapy.
