Treatment for plantar fasciitis typically involves a combination of strategies, including rest, ice, stretching exercises to improve flexibility, orthotic insoles or supportive footwear, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications to manage pain and inflammation. Physical therapy, night splints, and custom-made orthotics may also be recommended.
In most cases, plantar fasciitis responds well to conservative treatment, and symptoms can improve over time. However, in rare cases where non-invasive measures do not provide relief, more advanced interventions like corticosteroid injections or, very rarely, surgical procedures may be considered. Proper management and preventive measures can help individuals manage and ultimately overcome plantar fasciitis.
