When you're dealing with chronic foot pain that won't quit, you just want it to stop. You don't care about medical jargon or technical explanations—you want to walk without wincing, stand through your workday, or play with your kids without hobbling afterward. So when your doctor mentions injections, you're all ears. But here's where it gets confusing: you've got cortisone shots, PRP therapy, and everyone's telling you something different about which one works better.

I've had this exact conversation hundreds of times in my Houston practice. Patients come in confused because they've heard cortisone works great from one person, PRP changed someone else's life, and their insurance only covers one of them. They want straight answers, not marketing spin.

Here's what I'm going to walk you through: what these injections actually are, how they work differently, who benefits from each, and—most importantly—when one is clearly better than the other. I'll give you the success rates, the timelines, the costs, and the honest truth about what each can and can't do. By the end, you'll understand which option makes sense for your situation.
