If i develop plantar fasciitis, how will it be treated?

Stretching: Usually it will be treated with stretching exercises and nsaids depending on your response, you might require a local cortisone injection, physical therapy or shoe inserts.

Multiple treatments: Plantar fascitis is complex condition that can be treated with simple stretching but in severe cases may require surgery. Typical treatments include: home stretching, nightsplints, orthotics, cortisone injections, physical therapy, shockwave treatment (eswt), and on rare cases plantar fasciotomy (partial release of the plantar fascia ligament).

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.

Protocol...: I'd say 98% of my plantar fascitis patients respond to non-surgical treatments... Rest, supportive insoles, rx orthotics, otc anti-inflammatories (like aleve), prescription nsaid's, steroid injections, prp injections, physical therapy, etc... If all else fails... Surgery.
