Another podiatrist?: For plantar fascia pain or other related symptoms in the arch of the foot, where a patient feels he is not getting better seeing a podiatrist... he may consider getting an opinion from a second podiatrist, sports medicine doctor, or orthopedic MD foot doctor. Treatment includes anti-inflammatories, changing shoes and orthotic inserts, special taping, physical therapy, modifying sports activities.
