Minimally Invasive Surgery for Plantar Fasciitis

The Topaz procedure — advanced treatment for stubborn heel pain

A Breakthrough Option for Chronic Plantar Fasciitis

If you’ve been living with persistent plantar fasciitis that hasn’t improved with conservative care, the Topaz procedure may be the solution you’ve been searching for.

Originally developed in 2008 by the world-renowned Weil Foot & Ankle Institute in the USA, Topaz has been proven in multiple independent studies to deliver high success rates with a strong safety profile.

We are one of only a few clinics in the UK offering this advanced technique — and we’ve been performing it since 2022, with every outcome carefully audited.

How the Topaz Procedure Works

This differs from traditional plantar fascia release surgery, which involves cutting the fascia and carries a higher risk of long-term complications.

The Benefits

Here are some of the benefits compared to traditional plantar fascia release surgery
 
  • Faster recovery
  • Less post-op pain
  • Lower risk of infection
  • No scarring
  • Lower complication rates
  • The plantar fascia remains intact
  • Avoids risk of progressive collapsing foot deformity
  • No damage to healthy tissue
  • ultrasound guided and extremely precise
 
We are proud to be one of very few providers that offer this procedure in the UK. We have been performing the Topaz procedure since 2022 and have been carefully auditing our outcomes.
 
If you’re suffering from stubborn, chronic plantar fasciitis and would like to get back to doing the things you love then give us a call to find out how we can help.

Benn is extremely knowledgeable , professional and so patient. He listens carefully and is an excellent communicator. I had heel pain for 3 years and he did a nerve ablation which went very smoothly, my pain continues to reduce 3 months post op and I would highly recommend Benn to anyone with heel pain. If I had any foot problems I would definitely return to Benn. Thank you!!

I recently saw Benn as I had a very sore Mortons neuroma in my left foot that was causing pain, numbness, tingling and affecting my ability to drive, work & personal life. He was brilliant from the start & cleary explained everything. I had the radio frequency ablation done and have just had my 3 month follow up check done & all my issues have gone. During the ablation Benn talked me through what he was doing and was able to answer all my questions and worries. The whole process went very smoothly and I felt very well taken care of. The aftercare was great & Benn got back to my emails promptly if I had questions. I would thoroughly recommend Benn to anyone who has a neuroma and by the look of his reviews, any type of foot pain. He has made me very happy by fixing my foot & I won't hesitate to book another appointment if I have any further issues with my feet! Thank you Benn. 9 months later review: Still absolutely no pain or recurrence of any neuroma symptoms. This procedure is worth every penny!!

I have had intermittent heel/achilles pain as a runner for about 30 years. Ben diagnosed and successfully treated it, where many others have failed. I am now 100 % pain free and absolutely amazed by the results. Ben is also a highly organised and efficient professional.

Benn is really efficient at diagnosing problems and treating them. I had achilles tendinopathy which Benn diagnosed with ultrasound and then he prescribed insoles and exercises to do which have cured it. As I was about to go on a walking holiday, it meant I could enjoy the holiday without pain!! Benn also sorted out a fungal condition that I had been unable to get rid off for about 30 years, despite seeing several other podiatrists and my GP. At times I couldn't even walk around the house and it has now gone thanks to Benn. If you have any feet issues, I would recommend that make an appointment with Benn

After suffering from Morton’s neuromas for some time I was given radio frequency nerve ablation for two neuromas in my left foot. Benn explained the procedure and gave me excellent care from start to finish. The procedure went to plan. I contacted Benn at certain points during my recovery and he always responded quickly and answered my questions. Now, four months on, my pain and discomfort has gone. My job requires me to be on my feet for long periods of time which I can manage pain free. I can recommend this treatment and I recommend Benn to carry it out.

Definitely recommend the heel pain expert! I work a difficult shift pattern, but Benn was great fitting me in and being very flexible to get me seen as soon as possible. During the operation Benn was really great at communicating exactly what he was doing, and was very reassuring throughout. Really great professional service, thanks so much!

Part 2 end September, followed up with a review with ultra sound scan explaining my condition; a biomechanical assessment with discussion of treatment options for the condition of plantar fasciitis. 5* again. We need more Benn Boschells ! Wouldn't think twice about travelling if I need a more invasive treatment, yes more expensive than the norm but worth every penny. Part 1 JuneTook up the offer of a free phone call to explore treatment options for fasciosis. Benn gives excellent unbiased info on treatments for the condition. No hard sell.Passionate and wholly patient focused.

Benn is an absolute professional. I called to discuss the issue I had with my heels, I was called back quickly, arranged an appointment to go in and met Benn who diagnosed the issue, did exactly what he said he would do and fixed my issue. No more heel pain! Thank you Benn!
