Conservative options: Plantar fasciitis can be treated conservatively with stretching exercises, anti inflammatory medications, ice applications, physical therapy and orthotics/inserts. Steroid injections may be administered for moderate to severe cases. A majority of cases resolve within a few months of treatment. Cases that don't resolve may be treated surgically.

Combo treatment. : If you have plantar fasciitis, and hurt most with the first few steps in the morning, 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.
