May 5 2025
If you’ve recently undergone endoscopic fasciitis surgery, you’re likely looking forward to relief from chronic heel pain. This minimally invasive procedure is often performed to treat plantar fasciitis when conservative treatments haven’t worked. While recovery is generally quicker than traditional open surgery, proper aftercare is key to a smooth and successful healing journey.
Here are some essential tips to help you recover comfortably and safely:
1. Prioritize Rest and Elevation
In the days following surgery, rest is your best ally. Keep your foot elevated above heart level when lying down—this helps reduce swelling and improves blood circulation. Avoid putting pressure on your foot until cleared by your doctor.
2. Follow Post-Operative Instructions
Your podiatric surgeon will provide specific guidelines tailored to your needs. These may include weight-bearing limitations, bandage care, and physical therapy schedules. Sticking to these instructions helps avoid complications and speeds up healing.
3. Use Ice to Manage Swelling
Applying ice packs intermittently for 15–20 minutes several times a day can significantly reduce post-surgical swelling and discomfort. Be sure to wrap the ice in a cloth—never apply it directly to the skin.
4. Ease Back Into Activity
Once your doctor gives the green light, start with gentle movements and gradually reintroduce regular activity. Avoid high-impact exercises like running or jumping until you’re fully healed. Walking short distances, stretching, and physical therapy can help rebuild strength and flexibility.
5. Watch for Signs of Infection
Keep an eye on your incision site. If you notice increased redness, warmth, drainage, or fever, contact your doctor promptly. Early detection of complications ensures a quicker response and better outcomes.
