I've had plantar fasciitis on my foot for over a year! is there a solution?

There can be: ...Plantar fasciitis can usually be resolved within 6 months via conservative care. Starting with means of support such as taping, a good orthotic, adding on stretching, ice/massage, oral or injectable antiinflammatory medications. If necessary, laser therapy, shockwave treatments, up to the occasional need for surgery.

See a doctor: You need professional help to determine the cause and treatment which may include surgery after a year of trouble.

Yes: There are many things to try to treat it. It depends OB what you have tried so far. You will need to go to a podiatrist.

Combo treatment. : If you have plantar fasciitis, the more you can do together, the better: #1: supportive shoes. #2: firm inserts or orthotics. #3: oral antiinflammatories (check with your doctor). #4: stretching your foot and calf. #5: icing (10 min at a time). You may also need physical therapy or cortisone injections, or eswt if available in your area (eswt is great for chronic cases).

Protocol...: I'd say 98% of my plantar fascitis patients respond to non-surgical treatments... Rest, supportive insoles, rx orthotics, otc anti-inflammatories (like aleve), prescription nsaid's, steroid injections, prp injections, physical therapy, etc... If all else fails... Surgery.
