Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Hernando, MS
Board-certified foot and ankle care from Michael G. Lyons, DPM and Robert Wenzler, DPM at our Hernando office — 1558 Monteith Ave.
Our Hernando office treats heel pain every single day — plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, Achilles insertional pain, nerve entrapment, and heel stress fractures. Because the treatments for those conditions are different, the first visit is about identifying which one you have, using examination and in-office imaging rather than guesswork.
- Same-week evaluation at our Monteith Avenue office
- In-office digital X-ray to rule out fracture and assess the heel
- Custom orthotics and prescription-grade supportive footwear guidance
- Targeted injections and physical therapy referral
- Plantar fascia release when conservative care truly fails

Heel Pain Treatment in Hernando — common questions
Why does my heel hurt most in the morning?
The plantar fascia tightens overnight. Those first steps re-stretch it and tear the healing tissue, which is exactly why a morning stretching routine and night splints work so well.
Is a heel spur the cause of my pain?
Usually not. Many people with heel spurs have no pain at all, and many with severe plantar fasciitis have no spur. The spur is a result of the fascial pull, not the source of the pain.
Can I keep exercising with heel pain?
Low-impact activity is usually fine and encouraged. Running and jumping on an inflamed fascia tends to keep the cycle going — we help you substitute rather than stop.
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare, and can usually see new patients within the same week.
