Muscle Release

A surgical procedure aimed at lengthening tight calf muscles, particularly the gastrocnemius, to alleviate foot and ankle pain and improve mobility.
Book appointment

Muscle release surgery, specifically gastrocnemius release, involves lengthening the calf muscle to increase ankle flexibility. This procedure is often recommended when conservative treatments like stretching have failed to relieve symptoms associated with calf tightness, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, or forefoot pain. By releasing the tight muscle, pressure on the foot is reduced, enhancing function and decreasing deformity.
