Are platelet rich plasma injections a successful treatment for plantar fasciitis?

Some evidence: This treatment modality is used when other conventional methods have not worked. In my opinion the jury is still out. A good review of this may be found at: http://www.Aaos.Org/news/aaosnow/sep10/clinical1.Asp.

Simple solution: Stretch the bottoms of both feet several times per day for long-term relief and prevention of this. Place a wood rolling pin or similar item under foot while sitting and roll foot back and forth to stretch fascia. Also stretch calf and hamstring muscles

I : Have had very good results. I use a a large gauge needle with multiple injections . A local block is necessary so there is no pain.

Yes: A recent multicenter study showed that platelet rich plasma injections, particularly if guided by ultrasound for better precision, is beneficial for different tendinopathies. http://www.aaos.org/news/acadnews/2012/aaos15_2_8.asp.
