Plantar fasciitis steroid injection side effects? Plantar fasciitis is a problem involving the tough supporting structure on the bottom of the foot. It anchors in the heel and when this area is over loaded (or when nerves in the back are irritated), it can become sore and make it tough to walk (especially in the mornings). The usual treatment is injecting high dose steroids, but clinically we’ve seen that while this works for a while, the problem comes back with a vengeance. We and other physicians have been using concentrated platelets (platelet rich plasma [PRP] or our own SCP version) for years with very good results. So it was gratifying to see last week a research study that shows that not only did PRP work in a randomized controlled trial, it blew away steroids.

To say the least, Dr. Sloan has saved my life. I was given the run around by traditional Western medicine and I finally found a functional doctor who will treat the condition and not the symptoms. I am extremely grateful. I had a successful SOT.
Our nurse Dakota has been great. She's super thorough and helps address any questions that we may have regarding our protocol. Alexis has also been super great with customer service. If I ever have an issue, she helps me figure everything out. I'm really just impressed by the staff there in general. Everyone genuinely cares about you and wants to get you feeling better!

I was introduced to The Genesis Center from a friend due to my health condition and I have had a good experience to date. Dr. Sloan is very knowledgeable and seems to genuinely care about his patients. It's not just a transaction to him, but more he truly wants to help you get well. His medical team around him have been knowledgeable and helpful, and Alexis at the front desk has gone above and beyond to help me with questions, medical forms / insurance forms, and overall customer service.

Meeting Dr. Sloan has truly been a miracle. He gave me my life back! Before meeting him I WAS in so much pain with a long list of lyme symptoms, bedridden 90% of the time, not eating, physically & mentally drained, lost and confused for the past 10+ years. Going to multiple doctors who prescribed multiple medications with no good results just bad side effects. I was truly living in a terrifying nightmare watching life pass by while living with lyme disease no one could help me with. It was like living a slow painful death.
Then I came across Dr Sloan's information and had several appointments with him which were very pleasant and knowledgeable visits unlike anywhere I had ever been. The knowledge he provided us was truly unbelievable. Finally someone understood me and this crazy invisible disease. Now here it is a little over one and a half years later after taking two S.O.T.'s and some protocols I am feeling so much better. Pain and symptom free it's like night and day. I'm only in the bed 10% of the time now and that's only to sleep peacefully at night. I have been doing so much more everyday. Been on multiple enjoyable vacations. I get to enjoy spending time and interacting with my family & friends. My life is so exciting and adventurous, never thought I would ever feel like this again. Dr. Sloan is an amazing Doctor. He really cares about his patients.
