Custom orthotic: See a board certified podiatrist and have a custom molded functional forefoot orthosis made for you. The process entails taking a nonweightbearing cast of your foot while placing into neutral position. This is the position your foot has deviated from causing your pain.

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.
