plantar fasciitis can be a real pain in the foot. good news: it is typically self limiting but can last a year or more. treatment starts with stretching ice orthotics night splints. from there some docs will try a steroid injection. (i am not a big fan of this. ) there are other treatments like graston which a physical therapist can do that might help. in my clinic we also have begun using platelet rich plasma for this with very good results. some docs also do prolotherapy for this which has decent outcomes as well. last resort to me is casting and if this does not work you can always find a surgeon to operate. i would exhaust all my options before i took the knife as typically we can get nearly everyone better eventually.
what is the treatment for plantar fasciitis?
