How I Manage Plantar Fasciitis

Abstract

In brief: Heel pain is the most common symptom of plantar fasciitis. It is most noticeable while taking the first few steps in the morning and usually occurs with each step while running, although some people have pain only after running. Treatment options include stretching, ice massage, taping, high-voltage galvanic stimulation and phonophoresis, anti-inflammatory medication, and orthoses. If symptoms are resistant to conservative treatment, surgery may be required.
