TOPAZ®
Information from your Podiatrist in Orange County.
It has been estimated that tendon and fascia symptoms affect up to 40 million people annually-ranging from adolescents to adults and professional athletes to “weekend warriors.” Until recently, tendons have been difficult to treat. The most common treatments include rest, stretching exercises and splints or orthotics. However, these treatments tend to address only the symptoms not the cause of pain. For those who desire more aggressive care, the only other option has been invasive surgical procedures.
