Plantar fasciitis is pain occurring on the bottom of the foot. It is a common condition caused by repeated stretching of the tissues that support the arch of the foot. Unfortunately for many people, plantar fasciitis can put a serious damper on their activities, from work to even simply walking. The good news is there are effective treatments available.
Dr. Britton Plemmons and our team of foot and ankle specialists have deep experience in treatment of foot and ankle disorders. If you are struggling with foot pain that just won't get better, our team is ready to evaluate and design a treatment plan just for you.
Our newest physician, Dr. Joshua Russell, decided it was time to announce his presence with authority and take home this week’s Review of the Week. Congratulations Dr. Russell!
Our Review of the Week this week is about the care received for a lingering foot problem that was no problem for Dr. Plemmons, podiatrist and foot & ankle surgeon.
Thank you Dr. Plemmons for taking great care of our patients.
Dr. Porter is Longview Orthopedic Clinic’s interventional pain management physician. We would love for you to learn more about his background and why a pain management physician is an important addition to our team:
- Dr Porter was a physical therapist before he became a physician. He has a unique knowledge when it comes to the medical and rehabilitative aspects of pain management.
- Many patients that Dr. Porter sees have neck and back pain, while others have pain resulting from other causes
- Pain management can be an important step to ensure that all non-surgical options have been exhausted before moving forward with surgery
- Dr. Porter works closely with your primary care provider and referring physician to ensure that you are on the best possible treatment plan
To learn more about Dr. Porter, visit our website: https://www.longvieworthopedic.com/physicians/

Participation in youth sports has never been more competitive.
As a result, the incidence of youth sports injuries and injuries later in life related to overuse in our youth years, is also on the rise. The National Athletic Trainers’ Association, in conjunction with other leading sports medicine organizations, has published youth sports best practices. The goal of these best practice guidelines is to minimize the risk of serious injuries such as shoulder, elbow and knee conditions that require surgery and often interrupt promising athletic careers.
Dr. Joshua Russell, sports medicine physician, specializes in sports injury prevention as well as diagnosis and treatment.
If you or someone you know has questions about current participation or is affected by an athletic injury, Dr. Russell is here to help
We hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with their family and loved ones!
