Not so Simple....: There is at least a dozen acceptable ways of treating plantar fasciitis. When used in combination the treatment regimens can be quite extensive, but more importantly, they vary according to one's individual circumstances. A history and exam can make a difference as when to use heat, cold, rest, stretch, shoes, orthotics or even surgery. Having an evaluation by a heel pain specialist is best.

Conservative/Surgica: Stretching, icing, nsaids, orthotics, pt and injections. When these measures have been exhausted, surgery for plantar fasciitis may be indicated. Surgery involves release of the plantar fascia itself and is done via an open procedure with one of several incisional approaches or endoscopically. The procedure chosen by a surgeon is based on preference and patient selection criteria.

Be persistent ...: Plantar Fasciitis is inflammation of the strong band of tissue that runs along the sole of your foot attaching at to the heel where pain is often felt. Have a look at ... http://patient.info/health/heel-and-foot-pain-plantar-fasciitis ... for some structured advice. This condition will usually get better with persistence in conservative management, ie; rest, foot supports, NSAIDs, and exercises.
