Plantar Fibroma – Causes, Symptoms & Treatments at The London Podiatry Centre

Do you have a painful lump in your foot? Podiatric Surgeon Ron McCulloch explains plantar fibroma — what it is, why it happens, and the treatments that can help.

In this informative video, Ron McCulloch, Consultant Podiatric Surgeon at The London Podiatry Centre, explains what a plantar fibroma is, how it develops, and the symptoms it can cause.

A plantar fibroma is a benign (non-cancerous) growth in the arch of the foot, often within the plantar fascia. While not usually dangerous, it can cause discomfort, tenderness, and difficulty walking.

In this video, we cover:
What plantar fibromas are and where they form in the foot
Why they are benign but can still be locally aggressive and painful
Surgical removal – when it’s considered, how it’s performed, and the risks of recurrence
Use of verapamil gel to soften the fibroma and reduce discomfort
Hyaluronidase injections to help break down the fibroma
Shockwave therapy – when it may be tried and its variable effectiveness
Why steroid injections and insoles are not usually effective for this condition
How to access treatment at The London Podiatry Centre, including online consultations
