Usually, plantar fibromas are diagnosed through a doctor’s examination and x-rays. Sometimes, MRIs are also necessary for proper diagnoses. Nonsurgical treatment options such as orthotics generally do not alleviate the pain caused by plantar fibromas; however, surgery can lead to nerve damage. Cryosurgery is a new development in the treatment of plantar fibromas. Performed as an out-patient procedure, it freezes and shrinks the growths with little to no post-sugery pain or complications.
