DMSO: You can certainly try this and it has had positive results for many patients. It may irritate the skin and has an unpleasant aroma. Good luck.

Doesn't treat it: Plantar fasciitis is a ligament inflammation that is deep inside your heel. Topical medications (or the latest fad) doesn't treat the actual disease but masks the pain caused by the pathology. It may temporarily mask the pain, but the "old school" method of actually treating the cause of the pain works better. I hope this was informative.
