What is the usual time frame for recovery from plantar fasciitis?
10 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
About 4 weeks: If you treat it well with ice packs, rest and antiinflammatories, the minimum time to attain wellness is about 4weeks minimum. So, hang in there. See what activities you were involved in and try to avoid or minimize them as much as possible.

Not so Fast.: There is no time frame for recovery when dealing with plantar fasciitis. Pre treatment evaluation will help with the treatment regimen. How long, how bad, what has worked and what hasn't worked are all part of the program. This type of inflammation deals with dense irregular connective tissue that has a bad blood supply. Symptoms may come and go, but it will take time for the fascia to heal.

Everyone is: different and it would depend also on what treatment you are getting ….if 2 people have the condition and one is treating it and the other is not…I think the one treating will have a better outcome...
