Every runner who has heel pain wants it fixed. 


A lot of us think about this in the way that we fix automobiles. The alternator goes out in your car, you go get a new one put in. Your battery dies, you go get a new battery. But your foot doesn't work this way. So unfortunately, when you have surgery, you're trading one problem for another.


I have done endoscopic plantar fascia release surgeries, but not on any runners for more than a decade. Why do you think that is? 


Can an endoscopic plantar fascia release surgery get me back to running faster? 


Well, that's a great question and that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
