@corycalendinemd: Heel Pain Relief🦶Plantar Fasciitis Treatment: Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain (affecting 4-7% of the population), causing significant pain and reduced quality of life. How should clinicians effectively treat this condition? Initial approach to #plantarfasciitis treatment should consist of plantar fascia stretching, physical therapy, taping, and individualized patient education. These noninvasive interventions can be used simultaneously for approximately 4–6 weeks before considering adjunctive treatments. Heel injections and Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a consideration for patients who do not respond optimally and custom foot orthoses can be considered as a second-line treatment if ESWT is not successful. While patient education, load management, and appropriate footwear should always be emphasized in plantar fasciitis pain relief, minimally-invasive endoscopic surgical fascia release is sometimes required for symptom relief. Even when surgery is required, realistic expectations, pain monitoring, and comorbidities should be carefully addressed #plantarfasciitis .
