Autologous Platelet or (APC) Injections are a new therapy being offered by our office for the relief of pain caused by Plantar Fasciitis. The injections are a concentration of the patient's own platelets focused on the heel area to speed the body's repair of this area. This treatment is used as an alternative to steroid injections, and follows initial conservative treatments for Plantar Fasciitis Recently, two of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ biggest stars, Hines Ward and Troy Polamalu, used APC injections for injury treatment before winning the Super Bowl. Again, this procedure is done in our office under a local anesthetic.
