Foot & Ankle Care for Heath Residents
Heath is a small Licking County city adjacent to Newark with a strong industrial and commercial character anchored by the Heath-Newark-Licking County Port Authority and one of the region's older industrial parks. Residents include a large number of manufacturing and trades workers whose feet endure years of hard-surface standing, vibration, and mechanical stress. We see Heath patients for plantar fasciitis, work-related foot fatigue, and nail conditions common in environments that require closed protective footwear.

Questions from Heath Patients
Common questions we hear from Heath and Licking County residents.
I have plantar fasciitis that hasn't improved - what are my options beyond stretching?
When stretching and standard insoles don't resolve plantar fasciitis, the next steps typically include custom orthotics, corticosteroid injection, physical therapy, or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). Surgery is rarely needed. Dr. Golan will evaluate how long you've had symptoms, what you've already tried, and recommend the most appropriate escalation.
Can you remove a painful heel spur for a Heath patient?
Heel spurs rarely require surgical removal. The pain most people attribute to a 'heel spur' is actually plantar fasciitis - the spur itself is usually incidental. Dr. Golan will distinguish between the two and direct treatment at the actual source of pain, which is almost always the soft tissue rather than the bony spur.
