Plantar fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation or deterioration of the tissue that makes up your foot arch. Best managed with stretching your arch and soft supportive orthotics/shoe inserts. Night splints can sometimes be of benefit. Cortisone injections are also popular and effective. There has been recent interest in platelet rich plasma injections. Avoid surgery if possible.

Plantar Fascitis : There is a thick band of tissue that runs from your heel to just behind toes and when inflamed is quite painful. Treatment with stretching, ice.And rest. Sometimes an injection is needed to reduce inflammation and custom orthotics work great.
