Brief video in which Dr. Joshua John‑Ram Schacter (Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics and Sports Medicine) discusses Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert’s reported plantar fascia injury, describes what the plantar fascia is, notes Herbert will be placed in a boot for a couple weeks and is expected to return, and asserts plantar fasciitis is readily treated with orthobiologics.
Justin Herbert. So he's a football player for the Los Angeles Chargers, and he's been listed as injuring his plantar fascia. Interesting news today. Hey, it's Dr. Schachter. I'm America's holistic orthopedic surgeon here at Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, and I just want to talk a little bit about Justin Herbert. So he's a football player for the Los Angeles Chargers, and he's been listed as injuring his plantar fascia. Okay, so the plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that runs down the foot and attaches to the heel bone, the calcaneus right here. It can become really inflamed and irritated, and it's something that we see pretty typically in our practice here in Wichita Falls. His specific injury has not really been described, but they're going to put him in a boot for a couple of weeks, and he's expected to return to play. Now, plantar fasciitis can become a real problem. And the exciting part about plantar fasciitis is it's very easily treated with orthobiologics.
